Waking from a fall this young man discovers he has no memory of his past nor can he remember in which direction he was headed or why. With no other choice he starts off on foot. The South planes of Texas can be very verboten in 100-degree heat on foot. Having been taken hostage in a robbery and left on the trail for dead, he's left to fend for himself with not as much as a horse. Due to a brain injury he incurs in the fall he finds his reaction time is accelerated twice that of a normal man, which can cause some real problems. He does have one tool; however, a fifteen foot bullwhip. In his travels he finds himself smitten by some very lovely Southern Texas Bells.

Exploring the religious category of dying to self, this book aims to resolve contemporary issues that relate to detachment. Beginning with an examination of humility in its general notion and as a religious virtue that detachment presupposes, Kellenberger draws on a range of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary sources that address the main characteristics of detachment, including the work of Meister Eckhart, St. Teresa, and Simone Weil, as well as writers as varied as Gregory of Nyssa, Rabi'a al-Adawiyya, Søren Kierkegaard, Andrew Newberg, John Hick and Keiji Nishitani. Kellenberger explores the key issues that arise for detachment, including the place of the individual's will in detachment, the relationship of detachment to desire, to attachment to persons, and to self-love and self-respect, and issues of contemporary secular detachment such as inducement via chemicals. This book heeds the relevance of the religious virtue of detachment for those living in the twenty-first century.
