Dear Friends,

For years, I knew that someday I wanted to tell my father's story.

That day is finally approaching.

Pursued by Love: A Greek Odyssey is the novelized true story of my father, Johnny Chanaca—a boy who grew up under another family's name, not knowing who he really was. (Click on the cover to view the video)

At seventeen, after a basketball game, three men approached him and told him something that would change his life forever:

“We’re your brothers.”

That moment began a remarkable journey through hardship, war, brotherhood, marriage, fatherhood, faith, and ultimately redemption.

After years of writing and working on this story, I am preparing to share it with readers.

And because you have been part of the MJChanacapublishing family, I would like you to be among the first people invited into Johnny's story.

I have created a special Pursued by Love Early Access List. When you join, I will send you Chapter One free, along with behind-the-story glimpses and first notice when the book is released.

JOIN THE EARLY ACCESS LIST & READ CHAPTER ONE at:

Pursued by Love: A Greek Odyssey | Dr. John Chanaca. This story is very personal to me. It is the story of my father, but it is also a story about family, identity, faith, forgiveness, and a man who spent much of his life wondering where he belonged.

In the end, Johnny discovered something he could never have imagined as that lonely boy growing up as Johnny Schute:

The love he had spent a lifetime searching for had been pursuing him all along.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
