In a gripping spiritual odyssey, Pastor Adam is haunted by vivid dreams of a young girl, Evelyn, trapped in Canyonlands National Park. Tormented by these visions, he leaves his family and ministry to embark on a perilous journey through the desert, seeking the lost soul.

Guided by angels and his newfound trust in the divine, Adam discovers Evelyn, a runaway from a strict religious home, who challenges his beliefs and shares her own struggles. Together, they navigate a transformative landscape, confronting self-reinforcing doubts and the power of belief to shape reality. As they survive heat, exhaustion and flash floods, Adam helps Evelyn uncover profound truths about love, faith, and the human spirit.

This heart-stirring tale of redemption and connection explores how unlearning false beliefs can lead to spiritual awakening and a deeper understanding of one’s divine purpose.

I’ve been to all of the places listed in Beyond the Back of Beyond. I’ve been on the White Rim Road for 5 days in mid-August. I’ve done ‘hikes’ in Utah that can kill you if you’re not careful and prepared. I love the challenges of being outdoors.

I’m a creative marketing professional in Phoenix, Arizona via Boulder, Colorado where I attended UC-Boulder and graduated from UC-Colorado Springs: BS-Business Administration-Marketing.

I’ve been writing since I was 12. I have dozens of short stories, several screenplays, a recently published non-fiction book, lots of songs, and lots of creative ideas in circulation. I’m a raven, I do extremely well at things I’ve never done before. I do two things very well all the time: talking and writing!

I highly encourage you to examine your beliefs. There’s a lot more to you than meets the eye – lean into that and love your neighbor as yourself!
