This is a story about an imprisoned, trained conartist’s tormented struggle to wrench free from the chains of criminal addiction with the love and support of Joyanna, a metaphysical minister-by-mail, whom he feels has saved his soul. In return, Jimmie pledges to finance and build their dream, a spiritual retreat in Southern California. The book portrays his rise, his fall, his resurrection, and his passion to keep his “word of honor” to her even after death. This is a story of hope, love, faith and everlasting life that bridges their past incarnations as Lazarus and Joyanna in a cherished lifetime with their friend Jesus.
