The beautiful thing about running from something is you can be ahead of it for moment, the tragedy is when what you’re running from is a part of you.

Eighteen year old Eron Basque fails to confront this unfortunate truth as he faces the short stick of life’s lottery. With no one to turn to, the world’s cruelties will bring him face to face with his deepest fears and make him consider whether an unwanted life is worth living. Author Austin Lanning illustrates this dilemma not only through Eron’s endeavors, but his own pain and experiences, raising the question of when rock bottom is reached, is joy obtainable? Is it possible for hope to be gone entirely? And where is God in all of it?

Whether in the fictitious life of Eron Basque or the real life of Austin Lanning, this tsunami of a world can bring a man to the edge. The decision is whether to jump or face the water and swim.
