Give A Lil' Soul

Every man has a song inside him. But some routines can choke the music straight out of your chest.It is 1934 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Willie is a man suspended between two lives. By day, he sweeps the sterile, carbolic-stained linoleum floors of a county hospital, trying to keep his head down and survive the Great Depression. By night, he stares at a silent, rusting acoustic guitar in the corner of his boarding room, haunted by the ghost of his traveling days.But a man's spirit starts to rust if he keeps it locked behind hospital walls for too long. When a bitter supervisor pushes him to the breaking point, Willie sheds his gray canvas apron, reaches into his pocket for his brass slide, and steps into the freezing November night.Willie is gone. Rag o Bones has returned to the rails.From the original song lyrics by multi-disciplinary creator Stephen The Storyteller, Give a lil' Soul tracks the gritty, cinematic, and profoundly moving cross-country odyssey of a solo traveler fighting to reclaim his identity. Armed with nothing but an old Gibson flat-top guitar and a hunger for freedom, Rag o Bones embarks on a journey that will take him through:The sun-drenched squares of Savannah, Georgia, where a past love named Fanny waits with a broken heart.The neon-lit streets of Beale Street in Memphis, where a chance meeting with a French diplomat opens an unexpected door across the Atlantic.The breathless romantic vistas of Paris and Monte Carlo, where a brilliant writer named Joulie challenges him to live entirely in the present moment.The brutal, soot-caked hold of an Alaskan steam-yacht, where a ruthless oil tycoon strips him of everything he owns—except the music in his marrow.The jazz-soaked alleys of New Orleans during Mardi Gras, where a chance encounter with the wealthy Mrs. Caraway sets him on a high-stakes rescue mission to the river walks of San Antonio.Rich with historical texture, unforgettable characters, and the timeless hits of the 1930s, this book is a sweeping testament to the power of human connection, resilience, and the wild music that keeps us free. Because in a world full of darkness, you can't just hold onto your song. To stay truly alive, you've got to give a little piece of your soul back to the world. Grab your copy today and jump the rails into a world where music shapes destiny!
