All my life, people have been telling me the meaning of life… Ben Carter, drifter in dreamland, has a broken heart and a wandering mind. His memories are in fragments, played back and forth, like a CD of life’s greatest hits. Devoutly Catholic and reserved philosophy student Ben's conservative sensibilities and romantic inexperience were challenged by intense, eccentric Professor Wilkinson and gothic, beguiling Winona. Winona's European departure and Wilkinson's suicide sent Ben spiraling into depression and doubt. With Winona's return, Ben makes his way across America, finding advice along the way. From the veteran's war philosophy to the hitchhiker's road wisdom to the Kenyan priest's story of redemption, he seeks the meaning of life on the way back to the woman he loves. Spiritual, pensive, and human, A Heart Condemned to Roam is a journey into the heart of America, the way of love, and inscrutable nature of life itself.

This short collection of essays contains the occasional reflections of a Christian raised in both the Roman and Anglican traditions. They were given at the Tuesday morning Eucharist at St. Albans Episcopal parish in Washington D.C. As part of that gathering, members take turns to share their thoughts on the readings of the day, the significance of the liturgical season, or the challenges of the secular world around us. These reflections do not pretend to be either theologically profound or traditionally orthodox. Rather they are the personal reflections of the author: a self-proclaimed Roaming Catholic, whose familial and spiritual journey has joyfully passed through both the Roman and Anglican traditions.
