Frederick, MD  -- PublishAmerica is proud to announce that S.R. McDaniel's book Wasted is being submitted to the Oprah Winfrey Show for consideration for her famous book club.

"We are very excited to announce that this exceptional book is being considered for Oprah Winfrey's book club," said PublishAmerica's
Public Relations Director Shawn Street.  "We look forward to the day when the queen of daytime television will introduce this talented author's work to her millions of fans."

Wasted is the story of a young man's seven-day journey of homelessness, drugs, and faith. The effects of an ugly divorce, the destruction of the family unit, and the erosion of faith produce results that lead him to a world awash in drugs and alcohol.

It's set in the 1960s and '70s in Southern California, 60 miles east of Los Angeles. This is a small city, in a big state, that possesses all
of the social properties of pop culture gone mad.

Seeking to find himself in the world, he finds his world coming to an end, and seeks ways to deaden the pain.

Alone, without a home, lost and scared, he finds refuge in one man, Ian, who shows him how to rebuild himself. And because of Ian's profound and literal relationship with God through Jesus, he amazingly restores his faith.
