Sculptor Amy Freeman wakes one ordinary morning to find her
14-year-old son Zach gone, the only evidence of him a stray flake
floating in the milky water of his cereal bowl. Seven years later,
in the same California town, a middle-school science teacher
(referred to by everyone except his girlfriend Roxana as "Mr.
Candine") suddenly finds God. His revelation sets him on a
collision course with a troubled student looking to exorcise his
own demons--and lands Mr. Candine in the middle of a lawsuit.
Bracketed by two cataclysmic events, Dance of Souls weaves together
the stories of Amy, Zach, Mr. Candine, and Roxana with those of a
school principal, a troubled student, and a documentary filmmaker.
Amy's blossoming career leads her to New York; Zach searches for
the woman who enticed him to run away from home at 14; Mr. Candine
wrestles with God and the law; and Roxana wrestles with Mr.
Candine. Careening between the serious and the lighthearted, the
divine and the secular, the novel looks at the longing we all share
to find meaning in our lives, the countless ways we search for it,
and what happens in the aftermath of those personal cataclysms that
either change us forever or barely disturb the surface of our
oblivion.
