God's in the Water Zac Young

Do you remember the first song that moved you? Not just some early tune you liked, proving you had a pulse, but the one that changed your life?the song that blossomed the beginning of a personal, ever-evolving renaissance, the song that proved there was an immense power in the world larger than you. That first time your body froze in motion, chills broke out through your soul, and hairs raised on your arms. Rock ?n? Roll happened at that moment. Rock ?n? Roll is not simply a genre: it?s a lifestyle of pure passion. Passion is madness and through madness is found an inevitable darkness. Do you remember the first time you felt that darkness? Fear? Something that was so frightening it provoked those same uncontrollable chills? There?s an old jukebox in Macon, Georgia that serves as the epicenter of this phenomena in God?s in the Water?a poetic novel with a soundtrack. Author Zac Young?s debut novel tells the story of a touring independent musician who drunkenly discovers a jukebox in a dive bar on the outskirts of Macon. But this is no ordinary jukebox and no ordinary bar. ?Judy? seems to foreshadow the young musician?s every thought, satirically tormenting his intoxicated mind while at The Bar where he meets an eclectic group of strangers who all have drastically different backgrounds, incomes, and lifestyles: Snow, an erotic bartender, Mo, an absurd lunatic, Lou, a preacher, Spook, the down-and-out regular, and Red, a bizarre biker. These six patrons indulge in a rambunctious mix of euphoria, drugs, and alcohol. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right?
