There's a Tortoise in My Hair: A Journey to Spirit, a Novel

Cameron Simmons has always been haunted. It begins as a child, when Cam's father bestows upon him an insult that will take a lifetime to outlive, blaming his slow development on a fictitious tortoise in his hair.

From there, Cam's hauntings multiply: The constant threat of the Vietnam War draft. Failed relationships-and chemical dependencies-that stack up like empty pill bottles. Unfulfilling career moves. And the nagging feeling that his life is just destined to mean . . . something, anything at all. Something-a powerful word.

But these things form a pattern Cam can't see-yet. It's not until the earth-shattering discovery of his greatest haunting of all-the true identity of his guardian angel-that he can understand the purpose behind each heartache on his unwitting journey to spirit.

​​​​​​​Capturing each moment of anguish or hilarity with painstaking detail, Calvin Barry Schwartz's There's a Tortoise in My Hair is more than a life story; it's a legacy of love-for the world, for humanity, and for the pains of life that shape our ability to love in the first place.
