<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In <i>Losing Everything</i>, his first book of nonfiction, acclaimed novelist David Lozell Martin tells his wildest, most outlandish story yet--his own.</b> <p/>One evening in the mountainous forest of his isolated West Virginia farmhouse, Martin became disoriented when searching for a horse who had wandered off the property. Wading through the dark and guiding his horse with a belt around its neck, Martin felt as though every step was taking him deeper into the mountains. Instead, he unknowingly spent the night walking in a wide circle that brought him back to where he started. This quickly became a metaphor for Martin's life. The more lost I get, the closer to home I come. <p/>After growing up with a violent father who nearly killed Martin's clinically insane mother, Martin pursued a writer's life with a vengeance, becoming vulnerable to struggles with alcohol, financial ruin, and legal feuds. Then, after a betrayal by his soul mate, Martin's sanity was in as much jeopardy as his mother's had ever been -- a state of mind that in his case led to gunfire, divorce, and at least one trip to the emergency room. <p/>But <i>Losing Everything</i> is less about getting lost and more about finding your way home again. In his pursuit of stability, Martin uncovered lessons that might help others who have encountered loss: take pleasure in something as small as an ampersand, keep a list of people you know who have died, meet your own death like a warrior, and be glad you don't own a monkey. <p/>Deeply personal yet surprisingly universal, Martin's story is for anyone who has wandered astray. If not a road map, his journey is a guide, providing hard-earned wisdom to illuminate the path home.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Lozell Martin's</b> previous novels include international bestsellers <i>Lie to Me</i> and <i>Tap, Tap</i> and the critically acclaimed <i>The Crying Heart Tattoo, The Beginning of Sorrows, </i> and <i>Crazy Love.</i> <i>Facing Rushmore</i> is his eleventh book.
