JB's elderly brother and sister were recluses and never spoke to anyone... They were the only ones who could possibly know what had happened to JB, but they did not talk to anyone. They seemed intent on taking JB's secret, if indeed they knew his secret, to the grave with them.
Journey to another time and place in Mark Wentling's magical new novel,
Africa's Release

The residents of Gemini, Kansas, have grown used to the odd man who goes by the name of JB and roams their neighborhood in a befuddled state. But when he abruptly disappears one night, the townspeople find themselves facing uncomfortable questions, as JB's life and the dark discoveries in his ramshackle home are made public.
Little do they know that JB's ramblings have all been for a purpose: to transport him back to the African village he left many years before. Now he has returned to the old baobab tree that had years ago swallowed him up-an event that elevated him to the level of demigod in the eyes of the remaining villagers.
