Up From the Ruins is the true and inspiring story of a character who graduates from childhood, boyhood and into adulthood with all the vicissitudes hurled into the family which keep him off balance as he matures and grows in age. However, he is firmly inculcated in American ideas and is not dismayed by all the damnation and diagnoses metered out by the so called "experts." He comes to the realization at a young age that nothing is permanent and ultimately, loss and gain must be the fulcrum that tips the balance of life. Filled with all the thrills of childhood as well as the despair of a lost child in his struggle for meaning and purpose, the character emerges from the depths of chaos.
