James L. Cartee III offers readers another peek through his photo lens and into his heartfelt thoughts - this time as a displaced person. After moving from familiar surroundings and the network of support he had grown used to, the author finds himself struggling to orient himself in his new world. A delicate psyche can make adjusting to anything new a bit of a struggle but Cartee uses introspection, writing, faith, and his talent as a photographer to find his way. Every life has "detours" and it is how those struggles shape us that define our future lives. James Cartee offers his struggles in Eighteen Blessed Detours for the reader to find both common ground and hope for the future.
