Author: Irving Belateche

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
"When I first decided to go back and read those old notebooks, I was desperate for answers. But my old self said: Look closer. Read between the lines. I left you secrets. Secrets that will take you on a terrifying journey. And if you survive that journey, you'll have more than just answers. You'll have everything." Hollywood screenwriter Ben Cross is broken-hearted after the death of his young daughter. Even though he knows it's impossible, he still wants his little girl to have the Hollywood ending she deserves. And so Ben begins a desperate personal quest, searching for some sign from her. Consulting self-help gurus, philosophers, and religion, he derives a set of principles that reinforce his belief that everything can still work out. First, he applies those principles to finding that sign from his daughter. Then he applies them to his writing-to his career-to everything else in his life. Along the way, he discovers which principles work and which don't. Meanwhile, at Ben Cross's side, the reader finds himself transported on his own spiritual odyssey, learning fundamental truths about how to live, how to maintain a career, and how to overcome cruel and unexpected setbacks. Based on the author's own life, "Under an Orange Sun, Some Days Are Blue" is a unique and unforgettable story that offers fresh insights on how to find the inspiration to meet and conquer life's greatest challenges.
