    About this ebook

    From a fresh Canadian voice comes a compelling American tale: A saga of hope and faith, and of drugs and murder... Of saving lives and of dying too young.
    Follow a modern day miracle man on his journey around the globe as he struggles for redemption. Watch as his past misdeeds and his recent crimes stack up against him and ultimately crumble a personal empire he's spent a lifetime building.

    Without any "helping hand" on his, self-proclaimed faithless faith-healer Caden Crown has been swindling America for years. Based out of his swanky Las Vegas penthouse and his television studio in the middle of the desert, he spends his free time plowing himself through the millions of dollars he's picked from the pockets of his fans and fanatics, gambling much of it away and devoting the rest to the endless excesses at his disposal in the City of Lights.

    Weekly visits from curious federal agents and a revolving cast of questionable characters are the norm in his days, until one mysterious man from across the world enters his life and alters it for better and for worse.

    On a path from the debauchery of Vegas to the mystique of Thailand and Vietnam, Caden juggles his crippling drug abuse and his propensity for prostitutes with his quest for truth and absolution... And when he ultimately discovers everything he's looking for, the dreams he never believed become a reality he can't trust.

    Read the story that theunboundunderground calls "A real gem of a book and a credit to independent literature."
    Through the sometimes complex tale of lies and deceit awaits a simple truth... A Different Kind of Truth!

    Steven Michael Maddis

    With the exception of the vast riches, the neverending string of sexual conquests and the crippling drug and gambling addictions, Steven Michael Maddis lives a life not unlike that of your favo(u)rite international playboys. A 40's-ish Canadian father of one, Steve spends most of his days kicking and screaming his way through the corporate world. He spends his free time jetting around his hometown in Southern Ontario, Canada to spend time with his 11 year old son and his utterly awesome girlfriend. A simple man with interests bordering on the mundane, Steve asks for little out of life, gives back whatever is required by court order... and on a three month rotating basis, ensures that at least one utility bill is paid on time! He manages to feed his only addiction- watching cars turn left- 36 weekends a year. With his ascerbic wit, his genuine charm and his stunning I.Q (as well as his thesaurus and his captivating modesty).... Steve cordially invites you to enter the one corner of his world from which you might come out intact. Try it! You might even like it!!
