"None of us stands alone in this world," begins Bruce Moot’s powerful and unflinching memoir.

Born into a harsh, poverty-stricken shack in New England, with twelve children sharing a five-room shelter, Bruce navigated a life devoid of emotional anchors and nurturing guidance. He was a timid soul, perpetually searching for his true identity amidst a childhood marked by struggle, fear, and the raw pursuit of survival.

From the traumatic experiences of a lumberjack father’s wrath to the overwhelming pain witnessed as a Peace Corps volunteer in Central America, Moot’s journey was one of frantic searching, people-pleasing, and cover-ups. He wrestled with the crushing realization that all "acceptable and scripted human anchors" eventually fail, leaving him spent and alone.

But his story does not end in despair. Lost Anchor! Lost Road Map! Lost Compass! is a triumphant testament to a spiritual awakening—the discovery of the one true and lasting anchor, Jesus the Christ. This deeply personal journey reveals a path to overcoming victimization and finding the ultimate, sustainable roadmap to enduring peace and purpose.
