"Welcome to Loynne's Island: Paradise Itself."
Loynne’s Island, self-titled capital of the Western World and flagship to its most luxurious, lavish lifestyle.
On this wealthy land of excess, a teenager illegally arrives from an Eastern European country of an obscure and mysterious nature, referred to only as The Motherland.
Forged in the most rigid Communist doctrine, he quickly learns to hate this new promise of abundance and freedom, feeling nothing but contempt for the inane lifestyle advocated by the people of Loynne’s.
Changing his name to Sonny, forced to live without his parents and stranded indefinitely on the island, he sets to find someone unpolluted by the corrupting delusions of capitalism while plotting his return to The Motherland.
• About SOVREV: The Faith Endeavor:
SOVREV: The Faith Endeavor was my first self-published novel, originally released in 2013. As my writing evolved over the years, the project underwent substantial revision and expansion, leading to the development of a new version simply titled SOVREV.
The original edition has been preserved and made available for readers interested in the work's history and development. It serves as a record of the novel's origins and provides an opportunity to compare the evolution of its themes, characters and narrative. The current incarnation of SOVREV features a significantly expanded storyline, revised characterization and numerous changes that distinguish it from the original publication.
• Awards and Recognition
SOVREV: The Faith Endeavor received a mention in Joel Friedlander's December 2017 e-Book Cover Design Awards. Commenting on the cover, Friedlander wrote: "The dramatic graphic makes a great 'hook' and the title treatment complements it well."
The novel is also held by the University of Granada Library as part of its collection, at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting Library (the author's alma mater), marking its inclusion within the holdings of one of Spain's leading public universities.
