As a 42-year-old man, I have just now discovered Pat's work. To say I am blown away is an understatement. His ability to draw you into the lives of his characters, all of whom are searching for redemption, love, and belonging, is unmatched. While I've only read two books, The Prince of Tides and Lords of Discipline, I am a forever fan. This quote from Prince of Tides has stuck with me: " Where can a man run when he has lost the excuse of games? Where can a man run or where can he hide when he looks behind him and sees that he is only pursued by himself?"
