Publisher's Synopsis
In 'Dearest Madeleine: A Love Story', Scott Bryan (author of 'This Book Will Make You Go Crazy') continues his trek into the unknown. Employing handwritten letters sent irresponsibly to a bartender in Colorado, Scott writes with honesty and abandon about his life, his soul, and his continued creativity. Creating with no plan, documenting as he goes, Scott crisscrosses the country, from the mountains of Colorado to the urban jungle of New York City, trying to recover his confidence and conquer his demons. This visceral, immediate form of expression serves as both record and aid to the author as much as any reader. Along the way, his mind drifts from lost love to addiction to the fringes of insanity and enlightenment. He details his interactions with the women, men, and families that make up the tapestry of our country and learns to adapt and change as each new day presents a new place and a new challenge. As his inward journey begins to take shape, Scott realizes that there are no rewrites to experiences felt in the moment and then shoved hastily into a mailbox. The ultimate love letter to life, 'Dearest Madeleine' is one man's search for balance, understanding, love, connection and reconnection set against the ever-morphing yet familiar landscape of American literature: The Road.
