 The Mind Travelers by Richard R. Gayton | The Mind Travelers
is Richard
Gayton, Ph.D.'s second effort after the non fiction book The Forgiving Place—seen
on Oprah.
Its a psychological new age thriller that features Ian, a bisexual
psychologist, Vietnam vet main character who learns from his eccentric
uneducated father Obadiah to "mind travel"—that is
go deeply
inside himself and heal. Ian is ashamed of his love of both a
man
and woman and guilt ridden over the violence he was involved in during
Vietnam combat. Very vivid battle scenes (not for the sensitive),
intense sexuality and gripping story propel us forward in the fast
paced narrative as Ian desperately seeks to save his teenage son who is
a current victim of violence. The bisexual theme serves up issues of
self hatred and loyalty for healing. The ending is a heart pounder. I
just kept getting pulled in further and further until I couldn't put it
down. Oprah would like this one, too! Visit Richard Gayton's website Also check out Dr. Gayton's non-fiction book, The Forgiving Place  This account of finding peace
after violence
from a psychologist with twenty years experience in the profession and
seven years in his own recovery combines a dramatic story with
surprising and usable assistance to the survivor and those who want to
support them.Both books can be ordered directly from the website. |
