Overview

Scarlet Roads presents the real experiences of Don Mangus in story form, where characters and places have been changed to protect the innocent. He challenges all religions to look into themselves and their own inequities, and ask how a Creator would give us a world of suffering and pain, agony and loss, love and rejection, and endless loneliness and regret. How could He or She allow such misery to exist? Throughout the surgical experiences, the reader will find humor intertwined within the tragedy.
