Halfway Man

Somewhere along the way, Tony Brouwer's life took a few wrong turns. Estranged from family, unemployed, living off the public purse, and a regular in the meal queue at the Faith Assembly Church, Tony feels like the Good Ship Destiny has set sail before he could even reach the gangway. As he navigates the desperate downtown streets of a major Canadian city, the clock is ticking for hapless Tony, who finds himself caught halfway between hope and despair. 

A poignant, humorous, and uplifting novel, readers will find themselves cringing at Tony's missteps while rooting for his successes. An exploration of friendship and betrayal, love and loss, self-isolation and reconciliation, Halfway Man reveals our ability to shed the layers of a dark past and re-emerge into the light.
