August in the Mind
By Nick Taddeo

For the most part, we shrug off these questions, more or less content to live without answers. But such a question can haunt us indefinitely. In "August in the Mind," when Tony Antonelli attempts to kill a total stranger, he asks this question. And he knows immediately he must find the answer.

He is quick to realize it will not come from a book, the reassurance of a friend, or even a doctor. He must discover the answer himself. And do so alone.

Tony's quest soon leads to his roots in Italy, then deeper into the lives of his ancestors. Into what they did, and why.

As the answer to his question continues to elude him, he becomes ever more certain it lies buried within lives long since ended. That in some way, he has inherited an ancient hatred. That thoughts about genetic memory are not idle speculation.

Tony does find an answer that satisfies him. You'll have to read this remarkable book, journey along with Tony, to discover whether or not it will satisfy you.

An original and creative exploration of one of the many things we know so little about.
