Description
Farming. Making ends meet. Mental illness. Adoption. In vitro fertilization. Loss. Life. Love. In 13,712: A Journey, J.D. Massey takes us through the 13,712 days between his father's passing when he was young and the moment his first son was born. Join in a journey of success and failure, grief and depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Feel the pain of a father faced with the loss of a child, the strains placed on a family while seeking to conceive through IVF, and the joy of witnessing an infant's first vital tears. With Massey, we farm and harvest the plains of North Dakota and work horses in the hills of Tennessee. But we also do more. We share in the age-old struggles common to all mankind, coupled with the gifts and deprivations of modern technology. Yes, through the eyes of one father and farmer, we experience life!
13,712: A Journey is Massey's debut work, and the author has distinguished himself through his groundbreaking literary decisions. The blank pages are not a misprint; they are the author's statement of pain so deep and a situation so complex that words cannot describe. Said one reader: "Please don't take this the wrong way, but those blank pages are more powerful than anything you wrote. This puts this book on a different level. I love it." Besides making a statement about his own journey, the author wants a place for you, the reader, to write your own story, if you are moved to do so, and know you are sharing it with a friend.
