Description
THE BODY. THE MIND. THE SPIRIT.
Seven years since he left home.
Seven countries. Seven names.
Seven lives. All temporary. All laborious.
Now, on a drill rig deep in the desert, Mark Bonen is paired with Simon: sixty-one years old, lifting weights before dawn, reading by the fire, cooking like the chef he once was. No speeches. No shortcuts. Just the shift, done right, every day.
Rod by rod, page by page, Mark begins the only work that counts — the making of a man.
But the making has a price.
A novella about discipline, belonging, and sacrifice.
