The Conversion of Ronnie Vee

The Conversion of Ronnie Vee is about the psychology professor Ronin Maximus Van Valkenburg, who left his idyllic college position due to a tragic event with a student/protg of his to return to high school as a guidance counselor for the senior class students. His absolute intention to try to reach kids earlier in their adolescence to help prevent future suicides led him to discover that this was indeed his true calling.

The main characters remind you of what many have experienced, especially in similar stressful situations, of coping with life during those so important and formative years of late high school, college, and beyond.

The Conversion of Ronnie Vee is actually two very separate stories that more or less parallel each other, ultimately converging into an unexpected climax. The age-old philosophical dilemma of right and wrong is front and center here, specifically paying attention to the resulting boundaries of ethical, legal, and even spiritual behavior.

As well, the parallel narrative will hopefully convey Gods intention and design for man and animal, with their connections (some obvious, some not so) and those compelling characteristics that are truly one and the same.

Lastly, this author is Southern and infused are the usual suspects: romanticism, humor, tragedy, and retributionall requisite characteristics of any Southern story.
