Patrick Simon Debuts with ZEBEDIAH

Patrick J. Simons offers readers a poignant book of misery, conspiracy, murder and retaliation in his debut book titled ZEBEDIAH. Readers will be drawn to an utterly riveting story of a young man as he embarks on a journey of self-identity and the meaning of life. Through a tightly woven plot, this volume reveals characters and events, adeptly linked together to reveal a gut-wrenching conclusion.

Abandoned by his sadistic mother, Zebediah's only decent memory of her was when she gave him over to the care of his sister and her husband. This began a dramatic change in the life of the young boy who was overwhelmed by the love and care shown to him by his new family. Zeb, as he came to be called, experienced love and understanding for the first time in the couple's home. Following his Aunt Mary's untimely death, Zebediah is abandoned again when Zeke, over burdened with sorrow, sets off alone.

A mere teenager, Zebediah was forced to fend for himself. Life proves difficult for him as he sets out to learn about the world. While some of those he meets along the way offer a helping hand, others put him up against the wall pitilessly. His journey becomes a roller coaster ride of emotions as he crosses paths with people who either play a crucial part in his formation or in his destruction. What awaits him is an absorbing knit of events that ultimately determine his fate.

In a place that leaves no room for innocence and forgiveness, what is in store for young Zebediah whose only intention is to live a normal life? Readers can follow this story that stunningly depicts how men can be ruthlessly cold, heartless, and redeeming, in ZEBEDIAH.
