An Acre of Fools - Softcover

""An Acre of Fools" hits hard with a huge dose of reality that many addicts (in or out of recovery) and their families face every day. Reading this novel would definitely help anyone enter into [their] world on a feeling level, not just intellectually."
Hope For Hurting Parents

"An Acre of Fools is beautifully written and engages the reader early and easily. The foundation of the novel poses supremely human characters facing the conflict of their actions versus spiritual teachings, the struggles of parenthood, and the manipulative devil of addiction."

Tom and Dena Yohe, Hope For Hurting Parents

"A haunting tale of love, hope, addiction, and betrayal. Aden James portrays a true-to-life saga of what happens to a family fighting addiction, how they are drawn closer together and pulled farther apart... From the first page, the happiness, love, sadness, faith pull you into this family's story. Addiction is real. It affects everybody it comes in contact with. How will you respond to it? What choices will you make? You'll see them all in this book. James draws from each family member, their feelings, their thoughts, realistically portraying what could happen. An Acre of Fools is the hope and destruction of life's dreams from addiction."
Sally Shupe, Book Reviews, etc.

"I really enjoyed James's writing style. While the story is about a family dealing with drug addiction, it is also so much more than that. At times I didn't think the story was really about this family's situation, but more about the internal battle of good versus evil... The dialogue that Peter had with himself and others spoke so richly of the human condition that this story could have been anyone's... If you are looking for a book that will make you reflect on your own beliefs and life choices, then I highly recommend An Acre of Fools."

After battling a long illness, Peter Stewart’s daughter, Austin, finds herself in a nightmarish addiction that thrusts her and her family into a world they never imagined.

As she buries herself deeper and deeper into the narcotics culture of shameless selfishness and deeply personal manipulation, Peter’s unwavering hope for her drives a wedge between him and the less forgiving family members.

But when Austin finally chooses to embrace all that the life of addiction offers, Peter is forced to choose between his faith and a family too broken to hope.

He chooses poorly.
