Striving to Know : A Novelette

At a small private college, as freshmen students find their way during the first semester, four students with varying interests become good friends. There's Holly, a psychology major with interest in parapsychology, who is looking forward to a summer internship at Harvard. There's Greg, who thinks he wants to major in electrical engineering. Charlie is immersed in his own world of religion, and Sarah is a geology-archaeology major. Each faces challenges regarding their spiritual beliefs, and each becomes preoccupied with events and situations that take place in their lives while on campus-including the appearance of a mysterious man. In the midst of their difficulties, they learn of a monthly "Let's Talk" meeting held for students and the community with a spiritual adviser who answers questions, gives advice, and talks about how synchronicity takes place in their lives, clarifying how each person actually helps to create their own reality. A work of religious fiction, Striving to Know tells a story about resolve, personal growth, and how friends' support for one another helps them to achieve their final goals.
