Freedom's Just Another Word

by Dan L. Hays

My life was spinning out of control. A force was at work I could not understand. I was trying to put pieces together, to remember - some whisper of a memory, about my Dad, when I was young. I was broke, unable to go look for a job, down enough to think about ending my life, mystified as to why it was all happening, and then I got the call - come home, Dad is dying. "Freedom's Just Another Word" is a memoir, set in Houston, Texas, in 1987. It is a complex narrative of a spiritual journey; a compelling and uplifting perspective on self discovery, family dynamics, the grief process, and healing.

SUMC Bookclub April book selection.

We met to discuss this book April 20 and met the author, Dan Hayes. That was pretty cool. Dan was a pleasure to talk with and definitely has the desire to share his story. I enjoyed the book. I found it to be pretty easy to read. He focuses more on the feelings and damage his experiences caused than the actual incidents of his childhood. This is his first published work, but he has two other books already written. One is a stand alone and he's hoping to get it published eventually. However, the other one is actually going to be the 7th book in what will be this series-the two book-ends,if you will. It's an interesting concept. I wish him the best of luck getting it all done.
