Road Gloria was Joel's first novel. It explores what has been called the 'path of return', a path of ever-growing awareness and responsibility.

The novel follows the life of Margaret, who is successful by all accounts yet finds herself somewhat stuck in life and a marriage that is not living up to its fairytale beginnings.

A chance meeting with an old school friend Leo introduces her to the ageless wisdom and The Way of The Livingness. It is an approach to life that has been with us for eons but is rarely lived in full.

We are all on our own Road Gloria. It is a deeply personal path and one that we walk with varying levels of awareness, grace and appreciation for the fact that there is more to life than the day to day.
