Like an American Chesterton, Ed Korczynski has taken a hard look at our current moral environment, compared it to the one within which he grew up in the 1950s and 60s, and asked himself "What the heck happened?". In this short volume, he has given his cogent analysis of the moral situation in America today and found it wanting. In answer to the issues he raises, Korczynski proposes solutions inspired by his Catholic upbringing that have been shown to be effective throughout the Church's 2,000 year history.

Korczynski says upfront that he will not be politically correct and he delivers on his promise. Ed is one of those writers who intuits what everybody else is thinking but is afraid to say out loud. In The Lone Sailboat, he says it for them. This book is a bracing read for anyone who has ever wondered, "What the heck happened."

Son of a Catholic Lector and lifelong practicing Catholic, Ed Eorczynski has degrees in music and literature. He has read, listened, and studied widely, giving him a broad intellectual base upon which he grounds his observations. A Vietnam-era veteran, he is one of the few with the coordination and athleticism to have served on the U.S. Army drill team! Married to Margaret for 48 years, they have three children and a generous helping of grandchildren.
