Tom (Royal T.) Ripley has his hands full trying to cope with his stroke-debilitated, adoptive father, "Pop", and their small Arizona ranch. He's delivering a calf when a blow to his head triggers memories that yank him back to the summer of 1978, his eighteenth year. One day Pop up and retired after thirty-six years as an Episcopal priest, and moved them halfway across the country to a twenty-acre ranch in the Arizona mountains. The Arizona ranch was a dream come true for young Royal T., who believed his life was finally complete. That is until he met Cat and Goody, two exotic teenagers who were on a mystical search for answers to Goody's recent near-death experience. Royal T. didn't expect to be drawn into a web of drug-crazed suicide attempts, and bizarre spiritual adventures. And the last thing he expected was to find the love of his life--then tragically lose it. "I was touched by Sojourners, and found it to be a book of love, suspense, true spiritual values, and with a great cast of characters."--John Randolph Price, best-selling author of The Superbeings, and The Abundance Book "I love the way you work deep esoteric truth into the story. It is dear and sweet and packed with wisdom."--Jan Price, best-selling author of The Other Side of Death
