WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARDS 2023 FINALIST
Bill's life has lost direction. Can the Arts help him find it again? A successful career in magazine editing has given Bill Thompson identity and direction. But when toxic office politics cause him to walk away from the job he loves, he wanders without purpose-until a class at a local art league reawakens his deferred passion for the creative arts.What follows is the story of Bill's dive into creativity. He learns to sing for the first time in his life and immerses himself in the difficult art of drawing the human figure. Above all, he decides to write again and finds a challenging theme in the aftermath of 9/11 on Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Will Bill's creative efforts reward him with Art's healing power--or will he find another source of renewal that was totally unexpected?
"Bill's writing, his drawing and his music are an inspiration," writes Ari Goldman, author of The La Starters Orchestra. "And so is this book. Read it. It will make you a better person."
