In Divine Turbulence, little six-year-old Gary loses his mother and stepfather to murder-suicide on a US Army base in Germany. Shipped back to the States, he’s launched from the frying pan into a fiery den of torture, abuse and enslavement.
Can Gary, a victim of unthinkable evil, become better instead of bitter? The answer places the rising artist and sculptor on a miraculous quest – to fulfill holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl’s dream – a symbol of responsibility at a time when the world seems to need it most.
Gary Lee Price’s memoir proves that even in the midst of tragedy and terror, choice upon choices shapes our destinies. A greater call resides inside each of us. The only question. . . will we answer?
Written with New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Bridget Cook-Burch, this unforgettable story reveals how remarkably the past shapes the present but does not have to dictate the future of any life. . . or that of the planet.
“The fundamental requirement of memoir is to tell the truth—unvarnished! Gary not only reveals the evolution of psyche and soul, he shares the struggle that exposes evil for what it is, and engages us ultimately in the transcendent possibility inside each one of us. A remarkable and worthwhile read.” ~Steve Cohen, National Broadcast News Executive

“More than an autobiography. Master Sculptor Gary Lee Price maps—or more accurately “sculpts”—a path to meaning in Divine Turbulence that can inspire and guide readers to answer life’s call no matter what their personal circumstances. He not only provides ample testimony to the defiance and resilience of the human spirit, but also demonstrates in no uncertain terms that, as the world-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl famously espoused, ‘When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.’ I highly recommend that you follow Gary on his extraordinary journey by reading this book!”

Gary has taken the elements of life, and shows us how to create love through turbulent beginnings. As Viktor Frankl once said “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Gary has chosen his own way, to be that hand reaching down to us all and Divine Turbulence is a testament to this fact. As seen is his art, Gary’s sculpture creations bring life to his mission “lifting the human spirit through sculpture” the Book is a must READ for all!
