About this ebook

a mentally challenged boy experiences the supernatural as he braves countless dangers, including a serial killer, to take his critically ill sister on an odyssey across the country to find dr. ned, a television character who the boy believes is the only man alive able to save his sister.

the dead and the living come together in a story of faith and redemption when a successful actor named johnny boyd and his wife, rita, lose their six year old daughter “scooter” to a serial killer. but scooter is unable to cross over and is a spiritual presence that only johnny can see. rita thinks johnny is losing his mind when she discovers his intent to help scooter cross over by killing himself.
meanwhile In a small florida town, a twelve year old mentally challenged boy named “uner,” a child’s mispronunciation of “junior,” is given the job of taking his little sister, sara, to their aunt in tallahassee. sara is gravely ill and her widowed father is counting on aunt isabelle to get her to the hospital in tallahassee where sarah can get the care she needs. the prognosis is not good, however, as the doctors inform aunt isabelle that sara will die. but, when uner sees a syndicated television show about a doctor, played by johnny boyd, who never seems to lose a patient, he decides that “dr ned” is the man to save his sister. when uner asks his aunt where he can find “dr. ned,” he is told that the man lives in hollywood. the incredible odyssey from florida to hollywood is both joyful and tragic with small miracles happening all around uner and sara as they encounter the best and the worst of the human condition.
arriving in hollywood, the boy and his sister meet donald, the man who murdered scooter and who now seeks redemption by helping uner and sara find dr. ned. when uner and sara are delivered to johnny’s front door in beverly hills, johnny discovers that uner can see his dead daughter and communicate with her. it is through uner that scooter and sara both will find their way into the light while johnny and rita’s love for each other is restored.

When I was seven years old I drowned in the Maumee river. I wandered off into deep water and after a brief struggle sank to the bottom. Two things I discovered, drowning is desperate and painful, but dying is lovely. After the struggle, I remember leaving my body and looking down upon it, lying still, emptied out, curved in a fetal position at the bottom of the river, and I thought, hey, this feels good! I don't mean "good" as in ice-cream good, but good like all the good in the universe. Then my father brought my body to the surface and I stepped back inside it. Had I been given a choice I would still be out there, riding the wind. I left the Maumee River and eventually found my way to Hollywood where I became an actor and played bad guys for a number of years while also writing scripts for low budget movies. I'm old, now, but still run and lift weights. I play golf and shoot in the low 80's. I still root for the Cleveland Indians, an exercise in futility. Lost causes keep us young and angry. My wife supplies me with love and nutrition, and gives me the best reason for living. It is for her that I do anything that might be deemed worthwhile. I write simply because I love doing it. I am a mutt of German, Native American and Irish descent, so genetically speaking, I suppose I am a natural born story-teller. I remember my 7th grade English teacher, the ravishingly beautiful Mrs. Hintz, telling me I could write, giving me a sense of my own worth, and permission to be something other than what I was. Bless the teachers.
