Product description...

A GENIUS, A HOOKER, NEW AGE ANGST, AND MORE

James Earl “Rainy” Stiles can’t seem to outrun his problems. An incident involving a lake, a girlfriend, and a public nudity misdemeanor has rendered him impotent. He quit school because it’s no longer his thing, his best friend is in a mental hospital, and just as he is falling in love with someone new, his old love interest reappears. Rainy zigs and zags his way forward with the assistance of a guidance counselor, a guru, and a motley assortment of characters. Will his metaphysical studies and sense of humor help him endure? Will he fail or flourish?
