Ten months--that's how long 26-year-old writer and aspiring actor Jay Sakovsky decides to stay in the fictionalized beach town of Soul City, CA to save up cash and overcome his anxiety before moving south to Hollywood. But after too many barroom brawls and a mind slowly slipping into insanity, Jay sees a therapist who helps him connect his self-destructive behavior and creative blocks to his undiagnosed OCD, setting him on a ten-year healing journey that drives him to near madness as he explores the limits of his heart and psyche, allowing him to reach his creative potential in the process. A surreal, darkly comic, and psychologically epic coming-of-age novel, The Soul City Salvation explores mental illness, friendship, aging, modern love, the creative process, spiritual awakening, and how the healing and artistic journeys are often the same.
