Synopsis
Can music, philosophy, and raw honesty heal a broken soul?
Bestselling author Michael Tanner is riding the wave of unexpected fame, but behind the stage lights and book tours, he’s battling personal demons that no spotlight can reveal. In Out of the Basement, James Rourke delivers a deeply personal, introspective novel that weaves together philosophy, classic rock, and the human journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Haunted by nightmares and past failures, Michael embarks on a nationwide tour to promote his self-help book, blending Springsteen’s rock anthems with Buddhist wisdom. Yet as he speaks to packed rooms about relationships, resilience, and hope, his own life teeters on the edge. With each public success, Michael's private struggles grow darker, and only genuine connections— with colleagues, friends, and perhaps even love—offer him a way forward.
A powerful novel that examines vulnerability, the nature of personal transformation, and the courage required to confront one’s inner demons, Out of the Basement resonates with anyone who’s ever fought to rebuild after falling apart.
For readers who enjoy character-driven stories, philosophical themes, and a heartfelt journey from darkness to light.
