The Waters of Awakening

A hidden lake. An ancient wilderness. A young man who will not leave it the same.

Deep in the shadowed folds of the Smoky Mountains, Arieh sets out on a journey that demands more of him than he ever imagined. Drawn by visions of a lake said to hold ancient power, he steps onto a path shaped by hardship, betrayal, and loss, and is slowly, unmistakably transformed by healing, grace, and love.

Following the storied Unicoi Turnpike into the untamed wilds of the Nantahala, Arieh discovers that every mile carries him not only toward the mystical waters he seeks, but toward the truth of who he really is, and toward the God who has been guiding him all along.

Rich with Cherokee legend, timeless truths, and the transforming power of forgiveness, The Waters of Awakening is a story of courage, calling, and the long road toward wholeness. It is a tale for readers who want their historical fiction carrying real spiritual weight, and their faith stories grounded in unforgettable, untamed landscape.

Also available in the fully illustrated Artist Edition, in paperback, hardback, and full color.

Step onto the Unicoi Turnpike with Arieh today, and discover a destiny far greater than your own.
