Searching for Steve by Joel Harris
In 1968, Joel Harris and his wife adopted a six-day-old baby they named Stephen. Despite his parents' later divorce, and his difficulty obtaining a college degree, Steve grew into a bright young man who became an innovative teacher, first teaching in troubled school systems, then in Nicaragua, where he drowned at thirty-one while trying to save a friend's dog. After Steve's death, Joel went in search of his son's birth parents, determined to learn more about him, but had limited success. The more fruitful search he made was through Steve's diaries and teaching journals, which bring him to life on the page. The result is a moving portrait of both Stephen and Joel, and of the bonds parents and children make, told in language that mirrors their loving, heartbreaking relationship.Joel Harris holds a bachelors degree in ministry and bible studies and has been working in Christian ministry for the past fifteen years. He currently serves as minister at Ward Street Church of Christ in Hardy, Arkansas.
Harris is loving husband to wife Lisa, to whom he has been married for twenty-three years, and with whom he is proud parent to two wonderful children, Autumn and Ian, and one very personable dog who thinks she's their third child.
A lifelong dog enthusiast, Harris has enjoyed the companionship of many canines over the years and has developed a deep admiration and respect for the species, which he has infused into his writing in very unique ways. Central to his epic novels, Rise of the Carrion Lord and Relic, are compelling nonhuman characters, most of whom are highly intelligent dogs.
