description: The River Lethe was one of the five rivers of Hades. Souls on the way to Elysium passed through it, washing away their memories, hence their sorrows, as a condition of their new life. How many of us really know ourselves well - who we are and why - the experiences, events, people, and relationships that make us feel the way we do about ourselves? Have you ever wanted to run away and start a new life? Now, add up all of those story elements, throw in a keen sense of humor, and you've got the makings of funny, interesting, and maybe even educational book! In Perry Pirsch's fictional tale, Drew O'Donnel sets out on the mythically titled river to find himself by shedding his "not so young" skin and building a new life. Drew is on a much more complex hunt than something as simple as an amateur search for acceptance for the gratification of his ego." I think that at one time or another, a good many of us have felt like Drew ("just want to run away and start over"). Read it and see if you can identify with him. At the very least you'll enjoy the story and get some really good laughs, and you might even learn something about yourself. Mr. Pirsch is a class A story teller.
