Scott Gague is a family man. On his own for a few months because of a job change, he is taken on a confusing, whirlwind trip by a startling young woman. On his return he finds out the reason for his trip: a terrible tragedy has struck his life. As Scott rebuilds his life he is faced with painful questions that challenge his faith in God, a faith already challenged by his life's work as a scientist. Why is there evil in the world? How does one forgive the unforgivable? Does God care about his creation? Is He there? In his debut novel, Joseph Fontes crafts a compelling story filled with intense, delightful characters. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this moving novel is a delight for those who long to understand the nature of faith in the world, while avoiding cliches and sentimentality.
