MISFIT 2, MISFIT 2

"We need more like John telling us it's OK to be who we are rather than focusing on who we are not." Sandra Mahr, ordinary average citizen Who is he? After ten years piloting a sternwheel paddleboat to pay for his higher education, then moving to the United Arab Emirates after the Gulf War, then teaching local women computers and math for 14-odd years, then retiring at 44 with his Canuck girlfriend to a mountain in Ecuador, John's a guy with even more stories than he had before. Does this small-town boy from humble beginnings live in another reality? Yes, after realizing at an early age that if he lived a life like most everyone, he'd get a life like most everyone. John wanted something different. John got something different, and then some, and then some more. His unique perspective on life will leave you enlightened. From his earliest memories to his latest doings, in MISFIT 2, the second book in the series, John recounts 36 more of his make-you-laugh, make-you-cry, make-you-think stories. Like jigsaw puzzle pieces, as you continue putting them together, you'll see more of the big picture, the story of John's life unexpected.
