29 Palms

An American Odyssey for True Love

.

In 29 Palms: An American Odyssey for True Love, Hawke recounts his personal experiences on a journey of a lifetime that he took across the United States in the summer of 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. It wasn’t the best time to take a trip, but it was the only time for him. At the beginning of the trip he makes a promise to a beautiful girl to go as far as his heart will carry him; only it all begins leading to her. It’s a tale of an outsider trying to find his place in the world, dealing with loss and self-doubt, all while on a quest to find out what love truly is.

Engaging, intimate, and true to the heart, this is a new and true modern-day American adventure story.
