The Giftie

Socrates famously said that the unexamined life is not worth living. In his mid-forties, a great man’s protégée, Chief Executive Chauncey Applegate senses an impending crisis of identity. When his firm falls to the venal Krieg Corporation, he bolts to the sanctuary of a run-down farm in order to re-engineer his life. But corporate politics dog him in exile and Chauncey is driven into a personal wilderness from which the only escape is locked the past. The Giftie is a book for those who fantasize over finding personal worthiness, finding their true vocation or quitting their job for a better life. Show more Show less
