What do you do if you learn that you only have several months to live?
What do you do if the news means the end of a successful career that has been the focus of your life, and that you have no close relationships, and no purpose apart from the job that has come to define and consume you?
John O’Connor’s response is to journey to Mackinac Island, Michigan --- an unforgettable hideaway where, as a twelve-year-old in the summer of ‘72, he experienced the happiest days of his life, and where he begins a search for the girl who befriended him that long-ago summer.
A series of mysteries unravel as John returns to the island. Who are the elderly women who receive him into their home on the Island? What’s the story behind Jack the Rapper, the shady character who wages a crime spree at Florida theme parks? And what became of the girl who was once John’s best friend that fateful summer?
A tale of mortality, transformation, purpose, and relationships, Circling the Turtle is a triumphant debut novel.
