Under the Grapevines

By J E Daniels

Discovering one's true purpose requires courage, challenges, and honest self-assessment.

Psychologist Dr. Paul Brandon recognizes the futility of trying to find humanity in unrepentant jailed murderers and leaves the prison system for a new existence.
Now in private practice, Paul confronts problems and finds solutions in varied and unique ways, often surprising his female psychologist partner and the hospital administrator.

As hard as some of the prison situations were, what he encounters now is even worse. Instead of criminals getting their just fate, often innocent children and teenagers pay the price for others' sins and wrongdoings, including abuse. Paul diligently strives to improve horrific circumstances.

Even though Paul is creative and tends to think outside the traditional answer box, he struggles with some appalling client situations. He enlists some incredible school counselors and officers. Paul understands the value of caring people and what a difference they make. He also learns the importance of enjoying life.

Paul unexpectedly and ultimately finds new strength through the example of a brave six-year-old boy. This awakening leads Paul to find his incredible true purpose, creating a haven for children and teens in need.

Join the exciting journey as Paul realizes how to make life better for others, and inevitably, also for himself.
