Searcher

The Searcher, written by Marty Rider, is an honest and bittersweet account of his lifelong search for meaning. Written in the form of random vignettes spanning boyhood to manhood, Marty documents a life filled with love and loss, humour and pathos, the profane and the profound, the everyday, the extraordinary, and the downright bizarre. The Searcher is a highly personal memoire in which Marty courageously relates his ventures into unchartered territories in search of himself-a search that brings him into contact with people who help and hinder him, ghosts and aliens, and out-of-body experiences. It's a rough ride, and at times he almost falls into despair, but ultimately Marty finds hope and healing-and has a lot of laughs along the way.
