Meet Tommy Murphy, a youthful, thirty-something American man who’s just been dumped by his latest lover! Wrestling with star-crossed love interests, and a sense of a prolonged adolescence, he is led on a quest to become comfortable with being alone. This lively first-person narrative takes the reader deeply into the mind and heart of Tommy Murphy, almost as if you were reading his journal. In Call of Kalalau, we see a young man struggling with nature and himself in an epic personal journey. He eventually triumphs over his narrow picture of the possibilities of life and is delivered from a dead end to a new doorway opening.
