When his idealism, inspired by Jack London's portrayal of working-class struggles, collides with establishment forces, he learns to rue a lesson from London: that fate is often capriciously twisted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteven Dhondt brings passion and literary sophistication to this coming-of-age novel. The telltale themes-idolization of inspiring role models, youthful bravado undermined by self doubt, first love, and betrayal-are outlined in graceful prose with signature empathy. Dhondt deftly pays homage to Jack London by emulating the master's satire and keen understanding of human nature in a story that builds to a tumultuous conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I need to find my way.
