Far Horizons begins on September 11, 2001, with a young, conflicted Aaron enduring the rigours of Special Forces selection. Soon after, he is deployed to Iraq, where his desire to make a positive difference collides with the harsh realities of military service. This sets up the central conflict of the book: will he find fulfilment in the military, or must he chart a new path? His quest for peace and purpose takes him through India, Brazil, Spain and East Africa, where humanitarian work with Kaitlin, a free-spirited Californian, further complicates his understanding of what it means to be 'good'.
In a world where notions of masculinity are evolving, Far Horizons brings a fresh, introspective voice to the conversation. It is a story for readers who are open to exploring not only the far corners of the world but also the uncharted aspects of themselves.
