O'Rourke, the Medicine Man : The Return of the Unkillable Indian

Fifty-year-old Bostonian John G.F. O'Rourke wakes up one morning suddenly dissatisfied with the normalcy of his life.

A man grounded in corporate America, he resigns his big career, sells his waterfront condominium, and puts his possessions in storage.

In his blood red BMW 525i, with the clothes on his back and a wallet full of gold cards, he sets off on a journey to discover his mother's Southern roots and Cherokee heritage, and his own meaning and purpose and place in the world.

What he finds is his granddaddy, a crass, semi-literate, 111-year-old magic man of huge eccentricity and few words, Clovis Midnight Moon.O'Rourke's mostly Cherokee grandfather is the mysterious and legendary Unkillable Indian of Bone Creek, Virginia.

For fifty years in the early twentieth century, towing a mobile shooting gallery all over the South, Granddaddy let people step up to take their shot at him-literally-to kill him.O'Rourke accompanies Granddaddy on his final tour as the Unkillable Indian.

Then, O'Rourke's real journey begins when he steps up to take on the mantle as The New Unkillable Indian.

In an eccentric, magical, entertaining and implausible spiritual journey, O'Rourke finally finds what he is looking for.

Even-especially-that a crass, 'worthless' bigot of a granddaddy can be a magnificent spiritual teacher. And, what you are looking for you already have...but finding it will knock your world off its axis.
