The Voyage of the Harem
Howard F Itzkowitz
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Feb. 20, 2017)
Richly illustrated with lively drawings by the author, this is the true story of a boy and his adventures. Nonetheless, it is not meant exclusively for young people, nor is it especially for boys. It's appeal is more universal. Soon to become a young man, twelve-year-old Howie discovers the things that stir his heart. He yearns for independence and seizes the opportunity to use a boat as his vehicle. However, as he embarks on what he hopes will be a voyage ending in recognition, he encounters the sorts of winds that don't always obey natural laws, and certainly do not bend to his wishes. Remaining—perhaps willfully—oblivious to the fears of danger and failure that keep many adults from living their own dreams, he arrives at a conundrum that promises to challenge him into adulthood.
