29 Palms : An American Odyssey for True Love (Ghosts Never Die Book 1)

The first installment of the Ghosts Never Die series. It is a classic memoir that tells a true tale of freedom and living on the edge during an age of uncertainty.

Hawke Smith is an aspiring world traveler and explorer of consciousness in his late twenties. For most of his life, he has been caught up in the never-ending cycle of all work and no play, but deep down he’s always wished to get away. At one point, he thought more would never come, that is until one day he dropped everything and took a journey across the country. This book is the telling of that story.

In 29 Palms: An American Odyssey for True Love, Hawke recounts his personal experiences on a journey of a lifetime that he took across the United States in the summer of 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. It wasn’t the best time to take a trip, but it was the only time for him. At the beginning of the trip he makes a promise to a beautiful girl to go as far as his heart will carry him; only it all begins leading to her. It’s a tale of an outsider trying to find his place in the world, dealing with loss and self-doubt, all while on a quest to find out what love truly is.

Engaging, intimate, and true to the heart, this is a new and true modern-day American adventure story.
