He seeks meaning in a society that often seems at odds with his values, leaving him to question the path he has chosen and the sacrifices he must make.

With richly developed characters and a gripping storyline, the work captures not just the historical context of a pivotal moment in American history, but also the universal quest for purpose and belonging.
