Outside, Looking In

About the Book

This novel examines the reasons why some people can overcome emotionally impoverished environments while others in the same family cannot. It raises questions about faith in God and morality that few of us ever examine. Gene Geminni believed that relying upon God or prayer was illogical, and was often practiced enthusiastically by the least ethical people. He had come to know fair and honest people who were extremely skeptical of theistic claims and beliefs. And that’s the way he wanted to be--true to his rational ideals and ethical at the same time. Perfect? No he never would be. But true to a set of principles and practices? You be the judge.
