Chelsea, MI, December 19, 2024 --(PR.com)-- T. Joseph Hardesty, a retired librarian who lives with his wife in south central Michigan, has completed his new book, “The Warden, the Inmate, and 34286: A Modern-Day Parable of a Man in Purgatory”: a stirring look at one man’s journey to find peace and fulfillment in his life through his faith during his short time being incarcerated.
Author T. Joseph Hardesty began his writing career in the fall of 1978, sitting under the branches of an oak tree beside Eagle Lake in the hills of Northeastern Kentucky. When he is not at church or taking his dog, Lucy, for long walks, he can be found writing on a computer instead of a spiral-bound notebook. The author is also a member of the Catholic Writers Guild.
“It should come as no surprise to anyone that life is messy,” writes Hardesty. “It just is, and there is no escaping it. Born behind the eight ball of life, Michael Thompson found out the hard way just how messy, and painful, life would become for him. In the course of his relatively short incarceration at Penbrook Correctional Facility, however, Mikey discovered that justice and mercy go hand in hand, that purgatory is another name for suffering the human condition, and that while there is no escaping it, one can be saved from it—but we have to want it. Really, really want it.”
