The Best of Intentions -- a new novel by Jersey City's Dax-Devlon Ross

Jersey City, NJ, August 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Best of Intentions: A Novel by Dax-Devlon Ross, which is the author?s most recent book to date, in the Literary - African American category is available worldwide on Amazon and Barnes & Noble for a suggested retail price of $15.95. www.outskirtspress.com/bestintentions

Following his painful divorce, Gus Steadman embarks on a cross-country road trip that ultimately lands him in his hometown after a dozen years of self-imposed exile. A perpetual dilettante infected with a near-debilitating nostalgia for his fading youth, 30-year-old Gus is finally ready to get his life in gear and live in the moment when he discovers that his prep school pal is running for mayor against a twenty-year incumbent and former civil rights activist. Hoping to kick-start his life he joins the campaign only to find himself falling deeper and deeper into the absurd, underhanded world of urban politics. In the end, and after all sorts of unexpected doors have opened along the way, it?s up to him to choose where his loyalties lie and his principles stand.

The Best of Intentions is the timeless story of the soul searcher striving to reconcile past with present, theory with practice, idealism with pragmatism. It interrogates the promises of opportunity and unmasks the perils of upward mobility; pits our undying hunger for spiritual connectedness against our insatiable thirst for worldly validation. Most of all, it explores the individual?s fight to live of integrity in a confusing world devoid of easy answers.

Deftly constructed at 368 pages, The Best of Intentions: A Novel is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Literary - African American category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Best of Intentions meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.

ISBN: 9781432703233
