Prodigal Song is a story of excess, obsession, and redemption, told with humor and heart. From chasing rock ’n’ roll fantasies to wrestling with identity and faith, this Gen X memoir explores the highs and lows of ambition and finding grace in unexpected places. A nostalgic must-read for dreamers everywhere.

Part comedy, part cautionary tale, Prodigal Song offers a nostalgic and humorous take on chasing fame in the most image-obsessed place on Earth—Hollywood, California.

For many, the rock ’n’ roll dream ends in bad tattoos, rehab, or worse. For me, it led to a loss of faith and a ballooning waistline. By age twenty-five, I was overweight and spiritually flailing while trying to succeed in an industry where image is everything. So began a decade-long journey of excess and obsession—over my body, my diet, and the pursuit of success in music. I dropped 65 pounds as part of my transformation, though my soul was increasingly out of tune.

Then came an unexpected mentor—a straight-talking, virtuoso guitarist with a gift for speaking hard truths. Through his wisdom, I began to see beyond the mirror and uncover a path to redemption.

Prodigal Song is a story of excess and obsession, but it’s also one of grace, humor, and finding faith in the unlikeliest of places. Whether you’re a music fan, a dreamer, or someone who’s ever struggled with self-worth, this Gen X memoir will leave you laughing, reflecting, and inspired.
