Terminally Human (Paperback)

Walter Conrad's comfortable life as CEO and owner of a local snack food empire is now a curse. His former world of greed, glut and materialism drives him to exist on the barren fringe of his psychological landscape. He discovers the uncomfortable truth that life can be far more unforgiving and cruel than even his prior self. If Walter cannot survive this way, he does not deserve to survive at all-His day-to-day survival depends on finding the value in his deep personal pain. Terminally Human explores the web of justifications that connect us all through daily struggles for survival. Jason Reinders probes into the shadows of the homeless community in his fictional world of Boreal Falls, USA and reflects on the characteristics in people that drive them to extremes.
