You know when you are born into the Jobe family, it is a given you

are going to have to become a come-from-behind stretch runner,

or life is going to chew you up and spit you out. Young Jackie Jobe

is an insider. Adult Jack Jobe is an outsider looking in. When, at a

young age a tragedy at the racetrack seems certain to define young

Jackie's life, he is determined to overcome the tragedy by returning

some day to the sport usually reserved for the "VanAstorbilts," and

not a mere Jobe.

Determination, and a loving family combine to give Jack the push

he needs to return to his dream, the sole reason, he believes, God

placed him here in the first place, to somehow win the most

important horse race in the world.But first, he must overcome his

inheritance: The Jobe name.

Patience is a virtue, and it shall be needed to withstand the

lurking poverty, hopelessness, felonious behavior, and tragedy

that awaits him.

J.I.M. Lord is the father of three and grandfather of three, of which the three grandkids have been adopted by Jim and his wife Emily after the death of their daughter. Jim & family live in Oklahoma and are on a first-name-basis with the ins and outs of food stamps, WIC, government housing, and the struggles to make ends meet by frequenting garage sales and re-selling those "gems" on Ebay...thus the lead character's name in "Finding My Way Back Home:" JOBE! Look for Jim's novels "Grandparents: Purpose" & "Grandparents: It Don't Come Easy" , memoirs of life in the "starting over" lane of parenting grandkids!
