THE OTHER SHOES OF LARRY MARTIN
Larry is a young man — the only child of an abusive father — who was unwittingly indoctrinated into the belief system of the Alt Right. He begins his journalism career writing for a right-wing website. He has no empathy for the poor and homeless, whom he mocks relentlessly in his articles. His hatred extends to women as well.
But after disaster strikes and he becomes homeless and unemployed, he learns a different truth the hard way — walking in the shoes of a homeless man.
After Larry examines his loser life to understand why he has no friends or prospects, he is confronted with a life-altering revelation. It shakes him. And he realizes the only way forward to a prosperous, ethical, and enlightened future is by profoundly changing all that he was.
This is Larry Martin's story of personal transformation — a story of painful emotional, physical, and metaphysical growth. This is only the beginning. Now, where does it lead him?

It might be true. Step into the highly tactical, metaphysical, and immensely brilliant world of Larry Martin."
