Wasteland

Wasteland is the story of Jacob Braunowitz (a.k.a. John Brown), a young Jewish man who, tortured by self-doubts and nightmare fears, turns his back on his heritage, his home, and even his name. Guided by a radical sister who is "half like a man and half like a woman" and a wise and compassionate psychiatrist, Jacob makes the ardous journey back to his authentic identity, his family, and his people.
