Where the Sun Rises

After waking in the gutter the morning after Labor Day, disgraced attorney Hatcher Stephens abandons everything and follows an inexplicable pull to walk eastward toward the rising sun. A former soldier, a shopkeeper, an Idaho car restorer, and a dying small-town woman each help him shed his addiction, his vanity, and his cowardice. By the time he reaches Snowville, Utah, Hatch has become the man worthy of the family he abandoned. A warm, redemptive novel about second chances and the quiet Good Samaritans who make them possible.

• A modern Good Samaritan parable: what happens when you pick a stranger out of the gutter—and he lets you change his life.
• 'The nose is crooked, but the character is straight'—a redemption story about learning your true worth isn't your face.
• A one-year pilgrimage from a Seattle sidewalk to a Utah town literally called 'where the sun rises.'
• Clean, uplifting fiction for readers who want hope without preachiness or profanity.

“"The nose is crooked, but the character is straight."”

Perfect for an adult reader who loves clean, faith-tinged redemption stories about broken men getting a second chance—fans of inspirational fiction who don't require overt LDS doctrine.
