Elaine Jakes’ life is a tale full of sound and fury, but one signifying something universal: a life of ongoing transformation. Zorba the Greek, were he a real person, would have fallen in love with Elaine immediately: they both embrace with total abandon “the whole catastrophe” (Zorba’s phrase) of the human condition.

“Somewhere between faith and truth there lies a curious seed implanted which grows to a wandering spirit from faith in something bigger outside of ourselves. This book touches all of this. This is the kind of book you want to sit before a roaring fire enjoying a glass of port and lose yourself in the narrative.”
