Driftin' Man

Luke Tarrin has spent most of his life drifting.Raised in a fading Rust Belt town shaped by layoffs, broken families, and the long shadow of the post-Vietnam generation, Luke leaves his home searching for something larger than the life waiting for him there.From tugboats and river towns to backwater kitchens and highways stretching across the American South and eventually to California, he moves from job to job with little more than a guitar, a duffel bag, and the weight of a past he never learned how to outrun. Along the way, he falls for Melissa, a fiery Cajun woman whose passion and strength leave a permanent mark on his restless life. But after Hurricane Katrina devastates the Gulf Coast, old memories and unfinished resposibilities begin pulling Luke back toward the people and choices he spent years trying to escape.Driftin' Man is a gritty and heartfelt American Novel about loss, wandering, survival and the quiet search for belonging in a restless world.
