"Smucker crafts beautiful sentences and haunting characters that
immerse readers in a world where anything is possible but not
everything is real. Recommended for fans of Ted Dekker or Tosca
Lee."--Library Journal *** When Paul Elias receives a terminal
diagnosis, he leaves his physician's office in a fog. Only one
thing is clear to him: if he is going to die, he must find someone
to watch over his granddaughter, Pearl, who has been in his charge
since her drug-addicted father disappeared. Paul decides to take
her back to Nysa--both the place where he grew up and the place
where he lost his beloved wife under strange circumstances forty
years earlier. But when he picks up Pearl from school, the little
girl already seems to know of his plans, claiming a woman told her.
In Nysa, Paul reconnects with an old friend but is not prepared for
the onslaught of memory. And when Pearl starts vanishing at night
and returning with increasingly bizarre tales, Paul begins to
question her sanity, his own views on death, and the nature of
reality itself. In this suspenseful and introspective story from
award-winning author Shawn Smucker, the past and the present mingle
like opposing breezes, teasing out the truth about life, death, and
sacrifice. "A resonant allegory about forgiveness and faith. Fans
of James Rubart will want to take a look."--Publishers Weekly
