Outskirts Press Releases, "A Promise for Destiny," by Leonard Moody. Explore the Question of Fate, the Mystical Power of Nature, and Man’s Search for His Identity.
Northern New York native Leonard Moody shares his intimate knowledge of the Adirondacks in his tale of Lucas Ambler, a lonely and confused man who has turned his back on society to live alone in the mountains. The beauty of nature and its often mystical qualities are revealed in this lyrical exploration into the heart of a man seeking solace in the wild. But Fate, in the form of a sixteen-year-old psychic, has other plans for Lucas.
New York, NY, August 05, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Some people call me a hunting guide or fishing guide. The kids that live in town call me the “Mountain Man.” I can live off the land as well as any pioneer did when they first started mapping the mountainous terrain that surrounds me…
Born into a life of wealth and prestige, Lucas Ambler always preferred the wild Adirondack Mountains to the Manhattan social scene his parents raised him in. Saddened by personal loss and unfettered with the need to work, he turns his back on civilization and chooses instead to live in the cabin his father had built. New York City would be but a fading memory if it were not for Carina, his best friend and confidant, who was with him when he first learned of his parents’ tragic death.
Alone but not realizing how lonely he is, Lucas is determined to live by his own instincts and his trust in nature, occasionally hiring himself out as a nature guide. He refuses to rely on anyone else, not even God, for survival.
His simple, uneventful life will change forever when a near-fatal accident one dreary afternoon sparks a chain of events that causes Lucas to face his ghosts from the past and question his decisions. With the help of a sixteen-year-old psychic, a recovering drug addict, and a beautiful but flawed young woman battling demons of her own, Lucas embarks on a surreal journey that will leave you wondering, “How far would I go to keep a promise?”
Leonard Moody was born in raised in Piercefield, a small town in far Upstate New York. He spent many hours hiking through rugged forests, fishing the Racquette River, and hunting for deer and partridge. He uses this backdrop and his intimate knowledge of the outdoors to tell the story of Lucas Ambler.
