Bestselling Author Robert Hammond Debuts Recovery Novel
Book offers hope to people caught up in drug addiction, occult

LONGWOOD, FL—Seeking freedom, love, and easy money, Abel Adams discovers a dark world of drugs and self-destruction. His mysterious journey leads him through a labyrinth of crime, cults, and incarceration, but will he find deliverance before time runs out? Grace Period: The Awakening of Abel Adams (paperback, 978-1-60266-353-4), by Robert Hammond, traces a prodigal son’s metaphorical passage from addiction to freedom. The book offers hope and healing to the millions of lost souls caught up in drug addiction, new age religions, and the occult, pointing the way home through God’s grace.

Says Hammond, “Grace Period is a tale of redemption, along the lines of The Cross and the Switchblade. Unlike James Frey’s bestselling A Million Little Pieces, which was a memoir based on fictional events, Grace Period is a fictional narrative inspired by true events.”

Hammond has faced down rumors that the book’s protagonist, Abel Adams, is a thinly veiled alter ego of himself. “Abel Adams is essentially an allegorical composite of all of us who have gone astray at some point in our lives,” says the author. “I know that most people will discover they really identify with Abel’s desperate struggle to overcome the allure of temptation.”

Robert Hammond (www.roberthammond.net) is a screenwriter and the bestselling author of several books, including Identity Theft, Life After Debt, and Credit Secrets. He lives in Southern California.

Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world’s largest Christian publisher, with more than 3,200 titles published to date. Retailers may order Grace Period through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
