| Publisher Description: Chance determines where you are born, but to find where you truly belong, you must seek the world.Following a friend to Mexico, Jim Doherty unknowingly begins a decade-long journey. His chance adventure will take him across the great expanses of the world's oceans and continents. Through his global circumnavigation, Jim finds friends, family, and love; he experiences adventure and triumph, meets both the evil and virtuous, and as he wanders his planet, through one nation and culture to the next, he crawls ever closer to self-discovery, and begins to understand where in the world he truly belongs.In Social Studies: A Novel, author Benjamin Lewis tells the story of a man seeking a home, a woman yearning to be with the man she loves, and a psychopath who is willing to travel to the farthest corners of the earth to get his revenge."Social Studies is a travel guide and so much more. It circumnavigates a world of experience, self-awareness, love and coming home. It is an impressive first novel portraying the coming of age of its protagonist through seemingly insurmountable obstacles while taking the reader to some of the most beautiful places in the world. Social Studies is not to be missed." -Brenda Bowman, Former Executive Director; Literacy Council of Fort Bend County, TX |
