Searching for Gilead is a chronicle of love, laughter, and loss.
Over the span of three and a half decades, the members of the
Compton and Fischer families have seen the world change, both in
and out of their homes. Linked initially by the love affair of two
of the sons, Jonathan and Tom, the families' relationships evolve
into an intriguing web. The novel traces the connections between
the two families over three and a half decades. Like many families,
not everything is as it seems on the surface. Relationships among
the family members brought together by the young men's love are
tested over differing perspectives on bigger issues, such as the
place of religion in people's lives and in the world, injustice in
global affairs, the joy and pain of love, threats to the
environment, the role of the arts, and, ultimately, that most human
of experiences, the death of loved ones. Witty, comical, poignant,
and shocking by turns, the story traverses the globe from Toronto
to Venice, from New York to Nairobi, and from Geneva to Marrakech.
In the end, the journeys of these people, as individuals and as a
family, go beyond the simply geographic.
