The Tides of Change - Beyond the Mind, Body and Soul

After falling in love with a friend, to only feel discarded, due to the nonfulfillment of his romantic optimism or outlooks to succeed, Cortez DeAndreàs Santiago is mentally in a better place. He also hopes to reconnect with his extended family in Puerto Rico. His final wish is to cultivate good friendships, but his attempts in that arena lead mostly to frustration, heartache, and eventually a cyberstalker who won’t take no for an answer.

The Tides of Change—Beyond the Mind, Body and Soul: The Reawakening of Cortez DeAndreàs Santiago – Volume 3 takes up the thread of the earlier story starring Cortez, and addresses some unresolved questions related to his family and friends. The latest story shows Cortez’s change back to a more authentic, no-nonsense version of himself, although he finds himself drawn back into drama again and again with friends who prove to be less than reliable.

Told in flashbacks, the story reveals crucial moments and choices that Cortez must make for himself and others, set against a backdrop of humility and complete honesty. The poignant narration of deceit, conflict, unhappiness and outright wickedness reads like an off-Broadway, four-act structure play, with dramatic storytelling. This assembly of life-changing events sweeps readers along with the “tides of change” and voyeuristic views into one man’s attempt to grab the brass ring of life.
