Testimonies – A Novel

The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp. is a riveting story of adventure, enlightenment, love and personal discovery that wants to be told. Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp sets out to discover the human potential hidden in the American culture during the revolutionary spiritual renaissance of the 1960s and '70s. Kozmos learns at age nine to hitchhike so he doesn't have to walk up a steep hill to get home. Over the years, he discovers that he can go anywhere. He doesn't need a car, or money, or even a destination. He knows he is free. What follows is a tale of self-discovery that connects revelatory experiences in Puerto Vallarta, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Denver, Ohio, West Virginia, and finally in a Sufi camp near Chamonix, France. In addition to being an intimate look back to a great period of awakening consciousness, The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp. celebrates the greater journey of self-awareness. Patrick O'Brian blends his own experiences with his keen understanding of the period to create an epic adventure that will lift hearts, imaginations and dreams of what is possible everywhere.
