MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB) January 19, 2023
“Mentors and Tormentors: On the Journey to Self-Respect” is a compelling novel featuring lessons and characters loosely based on his own experiences and those of thousands of emergency room patients. “Mentors and Tormentors: On the Journey to Self-Respect” is the creation of the published author, Tim Jones, M.D., a family physician practicing in rural Texas.
The characters and lessons in “Mentors and Tormentors: On the Journey to Self-Respect” are drawn from the author’s colorful childhood growing up on the Great Plains. After thirty years of telling these stories to help patients one-on-one, he has finally placed them in print for the benefit of a wider audience.
Tim Jones, M.D. writes, “Don’t be fooled. At first glance, he is just another middle-class fourteen-year-old. But on closer inspection, Wendall is so much more. He’s naive, sheltered, and insecure. Fortunately, he discovers a cure for his youthful shortcomings. He cannot control his curiosity. No matter how embarrassing, Wendall must know why people think, feel, say, and do sometimes-crazy things. During a span of four inquisitive years, his view of the world is transformed by a colorful cast of small-town characters. Some are mentors; others are tormentors. However, each is a specialist who thoroughly comprehends a specific facet of human nature: happiness, manipulation, and saying no, to list only a few. But Wendall isn’t just a passive student. He gets his hands dirty when his father transplants the family to a rundown farm. Our nosey hero then battles a sadistic psychopath, gets cheated by a con man, and talks a best friend back from a botched suicide attempt.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Tim Jones, M.D.’s new book shares Wendell’s fun and entertaining adventures, which balance and reinforce the seriousness of the lessons.
