Golden Boy

About the Book

Karl Horst wrote a book that he couldn’t read. This was due to the fact that he was afflicted by the heartless attack of Multiple Sclerosis. It was a hurdle that seemed like it could not be cleared. As a result, he could only reach half a meter to his right, and half a meter to his left. He held tightly to a laptop and pursued a passion he had always possessed, and that was to express himself in writing. He always dreamed of being a writer and a poet. He wrote an emotional story about family, past hurts, love, treachery, magic and hopeful intentions. He did this by using both fact and fiction and mixing all the genres of writing to illustrate his feelings through a difficult four-year period. Karl did, however, feel every sentence – so read it slowly. This book is very honest. It is his story, funny and serious, real and creative. Golden Boy is a must for anyone in search of the truth.
