What is the essence of life?

Essence is defined as the most important quality or feature of something that makes it what it is.

Essence of Life is the story of Jack Green, a young man born into the harsh environment of early settlement, an outcast from his family. He struggles to find his place in life. Feeling frustrated and ostracised, he journeys into the unknown territory to find where he belongs. To find himself and the essence of life itself.

Jackson Mclean is an accomplished author based in Cairns, QLD, where he lives with his wife and five children. His latest novel, Essence of Life, emerged from his own profound journey of self-discovery and reflects his deep interest in archetypal characters inspired by Carl Jung’s work. In his writing, Jackson masterfully weaves the complexities of the hero, the innocent, the orphan, the caregiver, the explorer, and the lover into the fabric of his characters, creating a rich tapestry that explores the essence of human experience. His narrative invites readers to explore their own paths alongside his vividly drawn characters, making his stories not just read but lived experiences.
