About the Book
Destiny...Charlie Boone's will be found on a cross country trip with a complete stranger, but why?
Jake Mott, an ex-con convicted of murder, and Charlie Boone, a city bus driver, are complete strangers; however, when their worlds collide, both of their lives are forever changed.
Born the son of a schizophrenic woman, Charlie lives in his boyhood home with his wife and two kids, caring for his sick mother. Tormented by unsettling dreams and frightening visions since childhood, the thought that he shares the same affliction as her is beginning to look like a reality.
Having spent the last three decades in prison, Jake is planning a trip to California to reclaim a bag of money he buried thirty years ago, and he’s making the trip alone…or so he thinks.
Together they embark on an epic journey of hope and redemption, but only one will live to tell about it.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "This novel captivates its readers in the intricacies of two lives that one would not rationally pair but that is the beauty of this novel and an insight to the mystery of life. Mr. McGroarty challenges the reader with this dichotomy and it is with great success. it is a brilliant work and one that is hard to fathom as one that comes from such a young writer." - Ronald S. Krolick

Mr. McGroarty you have produced a true winner. I could see this being made into a movie. I would say this is a book for all ages to enjoy." - Joe Antonelli
- "From the first chapter, the characters in his story seem like they could be your anyone of neighbors, great story and eerie at the same time!" - Kelly Scheivert
- "I love a book that makes you feel invested in the characters. I felt I knew Charlie and Jake so well that I had to keep reading to see how their stories end. McGroarty has you rooting for these two sad souls to forgive their pasts and find their happiness." - Kathy Craig
