Book Synopsis

"Miracle Man" by Dr. Dave Ferruolo presents an enthralling tale of resilience and spiritual rebirth. At the heart of this narrative is Aaron Robert Gossy, a former Navy SEAL whose life is overshadowed by the lasting effects of PTSD and addiction.

A philosophical and metaphysical journey from despair to hope, healing and enlightenment. It's like Jonathon Livingston Seagull for veterans. It may be a quick read, but it is filled with ancient wisdom and timeless truth. It's an important guide to healing, especially for veterans, wrapped within a compelling story.

Written from the heart of a warrior and the healing pen of a poet, Ferruolo brings us to the protagonist's shadows while refusing to let us avoid our own. "Miracle Man" is quite literally a comprehensive roadmap on our shared human journey to understanding the connectivity within each of us, between man and fellow man, earth and the Mystical.
