A Commonsense Guide to Grammar and Usage by Larry Beason

Discovering Beautiful is the tale of a lost and lonely young Yorkshireman who takes himself off to America for a month-long vacation and ends up embarking on a four year odyssey of travel and adventure in the search for happiness. Along the way he lives semi-homeless in New York, crashes numerous cars, visits several American jails, hitch-hikes over fifteen thousand miles, rides freight trains, and works as a stunt cowboy. Ultimately, he is led on a voyage of salvation by fate/destiny/synchronicity/call-it-what-you-will to a life-changing meeting with an odd and intriguing shaman and tai chi master in the deserts of Mexico, the culmination of his search. And that's when things get really interesting.
