True belief is a hard thing to come by, especially in a world that seems to constantly suppress its birth, much less its maintenance. In One Half Crown from Hoboken, Jim Ray shares a tapestry of stories that take you along on his journey from rickety to genuine belief-one of biting humor, madcap mischief, bittersweet sadness, and nagging doubt-with an array of unforgettable real-life characters. It culminates in an unexpected and astonishing tale of adoption ... and a closing story that'll remind you of the book's resounding takeaway: anything is possible as long as you press through, remain faithful, and don't try to fix things yourself. Jim Ray's one-of-a-kind storytelling style will entertain, enlighten, and inspire you to search for the episodes in your life that reveal your own winding, rocky, and perhaps even comical road to true belief. One where redemption is assured as you come to trust in something more than yourself
