Book synopsis

As a sixty year old gay gentleman from Los Angeles, Ethan Garrett returns to his home town in Tennessee to care for his ailing mother. There he becomes the victim of a brutal hate crime. His recovery results in mental derangement, prescription drug addiction and a journey to an Ayurveda Center in Sri Lanka. From the war-torn jungles of Sri Lanka to the drug culture of a mental health facility in Southern California, Ethan Garrett battles for his sanity confronting demons, real and surreal. This is his true story. While internationalizing the subject of homophobia and hate crimes, his story also reveals medical failures in regards to the treatment of the mentally ill. As a man victimized by homophobia, by a broken mental health system and by his doctor's willingness to provide him with his deadly drugs of choice, his is a story of survival in jungles both tropical and psychological.
