Journey Into Karma

From the author of A Land Remembered

James Drury Allen is a haunted man. For the past twenty-four years, he's had a guilty secret he's been keeping, a scar that's bothered him since he was a young man heading off to war. Now he's in San Diego to once and for all face his past. Will he find redemption? Or continued agony?

In Journey To Karma, Patrick Smith, author of the acclaimed A Land Remembered, draws from his experience as a young merchant marine during World War II when young seamen from all walks of life and thrown together on a ship, would disembark at port, and raise hell on what many figured would be their last time on US soil. This story of a guilt ridden man, written in a more naive time, shows how an act done as a young, immature adult can haunt you for a life time unless you face it. It is a theme the author comes back to in one of his recently published works, The Seas That Mourn, his novel about the lives of the merchant marine who served their country in World War II.
