It was 1970 and the world was aptly described as a Ball of Confusion by the Temptations. There would be no more elegant speeches delivered by Martin Luther King Jr, nor would another Kennedy grace the White House due to their untimely deaths. Young minds everywhere grappled with the generally accepted patterns established by their parents as the beat of their music spoke to a different beat. Struggling to understand and make sense of an obsolete world. Change was in the air but, at what cost? What form would it take? Amongst this turbulence, Paul Marshall breaks the chains of his affluent, single-focused upbringing, to find his own identity. From Vietnam, through Canada then back to the U.S. From a rock 'n' roll lifestyle to the exhilaration of finding love of oneself and love with another person, discovering the power of education with a fuller understanding, his is a relatable story with historical references, music of the time and transformative sage guidance woven throughout.
