Rick Jebb's memoir is a spellbinding narrative that will
keep readers turning the pages, a brilliantly rendered portrait of the author's
teenage travel and coming-of-age adventure. The eldest of four children, Jebb's
first sense of loss was when his parents ended their six-year marriage. His
mother moved with the children to Hinsdale, Illinois. Young Jebb struggled in
school and was challenged in many other ways, but John, his step-father, became
a role model for him, providing the moral support he needed. John suddenly died
at the age of 38, leaving Jebb shaken to the roots. He sets out to find meaning,
traveling from Colorado to Mexico —he hitchhiked, drove, and flew. Follow him
in this personal odyssey as he seeks to connect with nature, exploring the
importance of friendship and family, while struggling with his own personal
demons.
The human emotion, the ache, and the quest for meaningful
connections permeate Rick Jebb's memoir and they are captured in dazzling prose
and enticing descriptions. The author writes compelling historical and cultural
elements into the story, offering a finely drawn description of the Aztecs and
weaving beautiful threads of relationships within his team and family. This
memoir is filled with adventure and reads so beautifully as a coming-of-age
narrative of a young man who has suffered loss and has had to deal with addiction.
The central theme in the book is the quest for self-identity and the author
succeeds in showing readers the place of adventure in self-discovery. The
lively storytelling, the evocative writing, and the vivid imagery are some of
the elements that make this memoir a distinguishable narrative for lovers of
good writing. This gripping tale does not just pinpoint the dramatic moments in
the author's life but shows readers how adventure and new encounters can shape
us and reveal who we are meant to be. Poignancy and whip-smart analysis augment
the beauty of Mexican Sunset: The Vision Quest of a Modern Day Explorer
by Rick Jebb.
