Jen-Zen and the One Shoe Diaries is a modern Cinderella story filled with love, lost shoes and whimsy.
Jen-Zen and the One Shoe Diaries is a modern Cinderella story filled with love, lost shoes and whimsy. Brad Lynberry is a successful photographer who––haunted by the memory of his lost girlfriend Jen-Zen––begins to feel connected to her while photographing shoes. The riddle becomes a mystery that turns to an obsession. Is he going off the deep end? Is she communicating with him from the beyond, and can he rescue her? Answers start to come from his Grandma, a shaman named Red Hawk, and Jonathan the art collector, but time is running out. Brad must unravel Jen-Zen's poetic riddles or go mad trying. “Haunting and hypnotic, Shapiro's debut novel will long linger in the reader's mind. Jen-Zen illuminates the beauty to be found in the dark vacuum of unfathomable personal loss, and inspires.” ~ Michael Steven Gregory, Executive director of the Southern California Writers Conference "This is a singular book, original in voice, thoughtful in tone. The shoes seem to be telling Brad something. Jen-Zen has had an accident and is trying to communicate from somewhere beyond. Can Brad use his photographer’s art to rescue his true love?” ~ Scott Barnes, Editor NewMyths.com
