LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, August 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The remastered edition of Saving KC by Grinelle “Buzz” Desjarlais offers readers a unique experience by presenting two alternate endings, giving them the choice between a hopeful ending or a darker, thought-provoking one. Set against the backdrop of post-Vietnam America, this historical novel explores the complexities of addiction, recovery, and redemption. The book will be published on September 17, 2024 by Classic Day Publishing/Peanut Butter Publishing and is available on Amazon in print, e-book, and audiobook.
To celebrate the release, Desjarlais will appear as a guest of Books That Make You at the exclusive DPA Pre-Awards Gifting Suite in Los Angeles. His book signing and gift presentation will take place on Friday, September 13, 2024, at the Luxe Hotel, where he will sign copies of his book for celebrities and attendees of the star-studded Hollywood gifting party.
Saving KC examines the human condition through the lens of addiction and the search for personal redemption. Desjarlais, who comes from a long line of Native American artists, brings a deeply personal narrative to life, reflecting on his own experiences through fictional storytelling.
“In Saving KC, I explore the delicate balance between saving others and saving yourself – a journey many of us take every day,” says Grinelle “Buzz” Desjarlais.
Set at a time when America was grappling with the aftershocks of the Vietnam War, the historical novel tells the story of characters battling their demons and searching for redemption in a world that often seems unforgiving.
The new edition of Saving KC is groundbreaking in that it gives readers a choice in how the story ends. Desjarlais wanted to give his audience the opportunity to engage more deeply with the narrative by allowing them to determine the fate of the characters. This innovative approach to storytelling invites readers to reflect on the book’s themes and decide whether they prefer a story of hope or one that challenges them with a more realistic, if grimmer, conclusion.
“Life doesn’t always give us a choice about the outcome, but in literature we can imagine anything. When you write a book with two endings, the reader has the choice between comforting happiness or a shock of reality, whichever they prefer,” explains Elliott Wolf, president of Classic Day Publishing/Peanut Butter Publishing.
Saving KC is available on Amazon and other retailers. There will also be a print edition, an e-book, and an audiobook. The publisher is Classic Day Publishing, an imprint of Peanut Butter Press. The new edition with two endings will be available September 17, 2024.
