Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Finding Sagrado
A Teenage Odyssey for Adults and Mature Teenage Readers Roger E. Carrier tells an engaging story of youth, redemption, and sexual coming of age in New Mexico. In 1971, seventeen-year-old Shane Russell makes a well-planned escape from a Michigan winter and sets off on a 2,000-mile adventure in search of a town that exists only between the covers of Richard Bradford’s famous New Mexico novel Red Sky at Morning (J.B. Lippincott, 1968). Driven to recreate the nude scenes and vivid characters in Bradford’s fictional town of Sagrado, Shane forever touches the lives of his widowed landlady, the detective hired to find him, and his new friends at a colorful high school deep in the Land of Enchantment. Against the backdrop of his father’s death in Vietnam and life with his stepmother’s new boyfriend, Shane flees the painful realities of his life. In doing so, he finds a place where bats fly and love heals the wounds of the human spirit. He also encounters Mark Twain’s great truth: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”Be Specific About Books During Finding Sagrado

Finding Sagrado is a smart, honest, thoughtful story about a likable young man charting his own path toward self-realization. Carrier is a fine writer, but even more importantly in this book is how the story causes the reader to re-visit his or her own adolescence. Certainly the circumstances don't match up, but the emotions and dreams of the young character resonate close to home: ambition, loneliness, trepidation, hope... I find myself still wondering about Shane-- as to what may have happenedI picked up the book and was captured immediately from the first page and forward, it was a book that i found myself not being able to put down. Right from the start Finding Sagrado has done something that I have yet to see. Its almost like a premonition for how the readers, myself included, act after picking up this book. Shane is so lost in his own book that by the next morning hes still thinking about it constantly. Then the heavy stuff comes and after reading this you realize the emotional
Much like the 1971 movie "Red Sky at Morning" Finding Sagrado captures both the spirit of youth and the beauty of the southwest. The book is poetic in its descriptions of the inherent magic of New Mexico, and there are even some magical/mystical elements in the book. It is a book that connected my heart to the characters, I found myself anticipating and secretly praying for their fates. Highly recommended!

This Amazing well written book was such an ispiration for me and my family. After reading it I've convinced my mother and brother to read it. We lost our father to war. We used to dread over this. This book showed us how to deal with that great loss. I am so grateful to Roger for writing this book.
"Terrific Coming of Age Story"I really enjoyed listening to "Finding Sagrado." In fact, I think it should/could win a YA literary award. This was a well-written and well performed audiobook. The protagonist Shane decides to set out on a journey that takes him to places he's never been where he meets new people, makes friends, and even enrolls in a new school while in search of the fictional town of Sagrado. It was a good coming of age story and I love that it was set in New Mexico.This story was
After reading the book, and having English as my second language I would recommend this book to anyone learning the language at an intermediate or even advance beginner as the language used is not hard to understand.Story-wise I like the book. Even if you prefer other genres with more action or science fiction, the author did a good job at keeping it simple while having a meaning, something for the readers to think about. The story start with a teenager trouble by the death of his parents, his
