A love story based on the author's father, Eastbound From Flagstaff
portrays an individual who comes to recognize the significance of
family, loyalty, and the richness of his heritage.
Simon Hagan is running from a lie, intent on believing his own efforts
and perseverance can overcome anything. He abandons roots that are his
foundational strength and hides behind his charm, living every moment as
if life's daring him to fail--again. He's reckoning with his father's
God who could have delivered better outcomes but didn't.
This first installment in an epic trilogy that begins in the 1920's,
unique in its purposeful illumination of the human condition and its
ideological indifference to God, asks the question: "Why was God silent
when I needed him?" Simon's return to the notion of forgiveness is the
catalyst for a new beginning as it reunites Simon to the place he once
thought was the impossible dream. The answer for Simon isn't blowing in
the backwinds of his dream chase; rather, it unfolds in the outstretched
hand of a villain.
