JoEy

Joey is a journey from madness to forgiveness. An explosive story that traps you in the minds of its characters and leaves you wanting more. The year was 1971, when Joey Lewis at the tender age of eight years old watched his mother in bed with another man through the closet slats in their bedroom. His mother Lillie had no idea he was in the room. Joey was supposed to be at friend's birthday party, but had come back home because he forgot his present. It forever changed Joey and the way he viewed women. During the following five years of Joey's life his older brother John was killed in Vietnam, his sister Amanda had overdosed on drugs and his mom and dad were divorced. Life had changed dramatically for Joey between the ages of eight and thirteen years, and he had become a bitter teenager. Joey's dark side was emerging with a vengeance, and he became increasingly angry and a sadistic teenager. He was a man among boys in athletic ability. God had graced Joey with extraordinary talents that knew no limits. He was 6'4, 220 pounds and had a rocket for an arm. He had moves that would envy any NFL running back. Every major college in the country was recruiting him for football. By the time Joey was 18 he was an outrageously handsome man, very tall and masculine with that same beautiful skin as Lillie's. He had transparent blue eyes, big dimples and jet black hair down to his shoulders. He was the kind of man that made women melt the second he walked in the room. He was "The Bad Boy" that young women seem attracted too. In this fiction book written by Joshua T. Elias, he will tell the story of Joey Lewis and the true love he found in the wake of destruction, extortion and murder on his way to playing Quarterback for the NCAA National Football Championship. The romantic story of Joey Lewis is a story that proves; even the worst of us can find happiness, fall in love and be saved.
