Found on the Road to Damascus

John Locklear has built a life around self-reliance—until a four-year-old abandoned by his ex-girlfriend shatters that carefully constructed solitude. Trapped between baseball, legal obligation, and a child he never wanted, John begins an unexpected spiritual unraveling across highways and small towns, where found family and hard-won faith emerge from genuine loss and grief. Hornbeck charts this transformation with unflinching precision, balancing devastating emotional depths with dark humor and the quiet miracle of redemption earned through reluctant grace.
