Members of a small church gathered together to pray for their youth leader and four boys who were about to embark on a mission trip to Mexico. Seventeen days later, all five of them were dead. Life was painfully changed but more suffering lay ahead. After the horrific experience of recovering the bodies, Gene was appalled and perplexed by a greedy and indifferent American Embassy staff and a long stream of corrupt Mexican officials who had no qualms exploiting a grieving father´s vulnerability while in a foreign land.  With no other recourse, Jake´s and the remains of the others had to be cremated and smuggled out of Mexico.  Back home, a father returns home to find little in the way of solace from the people he was counting on. Back to Tonic is a musical term where a chord progression resolves that in-stability created within itself by returning to itself in its very root — Tonic is the note that defines the composition’s key. For Gene Kiepura, it was only after the funeral back home that the journey towards healing and a new stability without Jake could begin... a journey instructive for all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpob6y1qWVw A STORY DECADES IN THE MAKING BIO: http://genekiepura.com/about.html PLUG THE BOOK: http://www.amazon.com/Back-Tonic-Gene-Kiepura/dp/1939761166  WEBSITE: http://genekiepura.com/  TWITTER: @GKiepura  INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY OCASOMEDIA 305 396 2806
