An Unobstructed View

A Personal Journey from Illinois to Arizona

Mark Johnson’s third memoir chronicles an ironic year of surprise and transformation when one man’s life takes an unexpected detour and he discovers his destiny on the way to a new destination.As the story begins, Mark is poised for a new adventure. He has already navigated the ups and downs of his St. Louis childhood and retraced the path of his mother’s life from fertile ground. Yet, he doesn’t expect his journey with his husband Tom—selling their steady-but-often-snowy Illinois home and resurfacing in the warmth and serenity of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert—will prove to be as circuitous. "An Unobstructed View" is an inspiring story of promise, perseverance and reflection.

I enjoyed the autobiographical narrative and was encouraged by the triumph in prejudicial circumstances.

I found the AI automated voice understandable but a human reader would have been preferable.

all in all a decent read

I don't like AI as a voice alternative. other than that it's an easy read of a day man and it's life
