The Essence of Nathan Biddle
"The Essence of Nathan Biddle"
by J. William Lewis

This timeless coming-of-age tale has been likened to "discovering 'The Catcher in the Rye' all over again."

The tragedy haunting his family follows Kit like a dark cloud. When the brilliant Anna dismisses him, Kit spirals into self-destruction. But when his irrational decision to steal a maintenance truck and speed aimlessly down the highway ends in a horrific accident, Kit is forced to examine his perceptions of his life. Beautifully written and profoundly moving. Purchase at https://amzn.to/2SNarfw.
