In this work you'll find the past and the present, the grumpy and the funny, the family and the country, and the political and the personal-all tied together by a search for the heart in the heart, the mystical center that binds us to the sacred in each other and the sacred above and around. Like the work of Jack Kerouac, Taylor's book moves beyond the grand secular tradition of modern writing into the unknowable landscapes of the spiritual.
