“Journey” is Book 1 of the groundbreaking coming-of-age trilogy “If Where You’re Going Isn’t Home,” the story of a boy growing up Mormon in America in pursuit of a dream to play jazz trumpet. It is the recipient of a ForeWord Clarion Five Star Review. Young Shake Tauffler discovers his dream when he hears a line of music on the radio of a cattle truck. It’s 1956. In two months he’ll turn twelve and join his buddies on a journey through the ranks of his father's take-no-prisoners religion. At the same time, armed with a used trumpet, he'll start another journey, on his own, to a place whose high priests are the Negro greats of jazz, men he's taught to believe are cursed but from whose music he learns everything he dreams of being. Shaded with Huck Finn and James Dean, Shake Tauffler is an American kid we all recognize, a kid who confronts bigotry, domestic abuse, religious oppression, and death with courage, humor, heartbreak, pain, and wonder. His rites of passage are keenly familiar. His dream to play jazz is shared by most any musician. But his ten-year story of growing up Mormon in America takes us to a new place. It is for those of us who long to lose ourselves in an epic American story that has never been told this way. "Journey" follows the first three years of his quest for the clarity and flight of a trumpet line. From Mike Strong, co-founder of Zola Books: "Max Zimmer has written The Great American Mormon Novel. For decades, readers have depended upon a few extraordinary writers to understand fully what it means to be an American - Philip Roth, Julia Alvarez, Ralph Ellison, Erica Jong, John Updike. Zimmer has added a critical new dimension to our shared national understanding of who we are and how we got here in this sweeping narrative. Twelve-year-old Shake Tauffler's decade-long journey through the Mormon Church and beyond will resonate with all Americans who ponder their soul and place in our changing national portrait."

I will upload a chapter a day until I have a good sample up, and then I'll upload the rest once the book is no longer exclusive on Amazon. Eliza Dunmar is about to turn thirty-one and fears her best days are behind her. Soon she'll be too old to attend church in a singles ward, her career as a painter is no longer considered cool, and she feels too old to use the excuse that she's "just starting out" to explain why she still can't pay the bills. The only man interested in her is a scruffy, video game addicted nerd who is the first to admit that they are all wrong for each other. When her beloved Aunt Nora calls from England and begs her to visit, Eliza leaps at the chance. Even better? Nora had the perfect romance with her late husband and is eager to share the tale. As Eliza sets out to immortalize this courtship in a series of paintings, she learns a lesson that will change her outlook on life and love forevermore.

AU's and Fluff (But Mostly Fluff)

hello readers !! this is a mormon love story, or maybe it's more of a love story that has elements of mormonism. i myself am not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but i do have a deep fascination with the religion, it's people, and the culture. i will do my very best to respect the culture and the church, as i would want someone to do for my own religion. if there ever comes a point in my writing in which maybe there's something missing or i used a slang word wrong, please feel free to give me tips/suggestion on how to make the story more enjoyable for an LDS member. i hope that my story if a fun and entertaining read.

A cult member. Peter, age 20, knows Mormonism, but little else. No street smarts, book smarts, or social smarts. More significant, Peter knows nothing of religious mind control, viewing the world as his parents and church created it for him. His bipolar disorder, lack of maturity, and desire to do the right thing collided when he decided to serve a two year mission for his church, family, and community. What Peter wanted or needed never crossed his mind. Religious delusions and mental illness push him to extreme actions when repeated failures push him to bizarre and unorthodox behavior. If he survives his crazy mission to save the world who will he be? How can he find reality when he has been fed lies his whole life?

What if Laman kept a record paralleling the things that Nephi wrote. What if he expressed himself and his beliefs regarding the situation surrounding his family leaving Jerusalem? That is what this is. An account of what he might have written, or in other words, "I Laman have written these things...."
