Author Description

Are there really Laws of Life?This is a short, illustrated adventure story about a guy named Wes and the laws of life he accidentally discovers hitchhiking across America. These are invisible laws (like gravity) that are often difficult to capture, pin down and talk about; laws that profoundly affect us in our daily lives.This book introduces the reader to abstract concepts such as choice, decision making, personal boundaries, cause and effect, interpersonal consciousness and hearing ones' own inner voice. Highly recommended for high school and college students and all who walk upon the road less travelled. Readers say...With a title that begins with "The Laws of Life..." prospective readers of this book might fear that they were in for some pompous moralizing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Wes Heimlich writes in a straightforward, unpretentious style. He illustrates the lessons he learned from hitchhiking with engaging stories and a playful, light attitude. The laws are ones that anyone with an open attitude and an ability to introspect are likely to arrive at, but the fact he came to them through the adventurous and risky endeavor of hitchhiking is what gives the book its energy and appeal.
