"Written with a genuine flair for originality, Robbins has created a cast of distinctive characters deftly embedded in a narrative-driven, exceptionally engaging story that holds the readers' fully engaged attention from beginning to end. ...very highly recommended, especially for community library Contemporary General Fiction..." ~ Midwest Book Review

Dr. Drew Coleman's seemingly charmed life is shattered by devastating news, causing him to go on a ten-year transcontinental journey of self-discovery. He explores the nature of God and Man, the divine inspiration for many of New York's landmarks and artistic treasures, and the relationship between the found and the lost souls passing on the street.

In time, he discovers and explains the scientific basis for the meaning of life, and he is finally found... or finds himself.

"If you are looking for a great read with a little something extra, search no further; Love, Loss, and Lagniappe is the novel for you." ~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a contemporary literary exploration of the emotional and psychological depths of great personal loss, and one man's journey toward self-discovery... again. [DRM-Free]
