1980. Coffee, Georgia. A mass killing in a church claims the lives
of twelve people. Isaiah Brown, a fourteen-year-old prophet, fails
to predict the massacre, in which his mother and grandfather die.
After the killings, a blind and traumatized Isaiah flees the scene,
disappearing into the woods. Fifteen years later, at God's bidding,
and able to see again in all senses, Isaiah returns to Coffee, to
make reparation and free himself from his past. There, he finds the
people of Coffee on the brink of an even worse trauma than that
experienced in 1980. Can Isaiah discover what was behind the
original tragedy, and why he didn't foresee the event? Will he be
able to prevent another impending tragedy? Or will he be blindsided
by his love for one woman? The Blindsided Prophet explores thoughts
at the deepest level and whether we have a say in shaping our
thoughts, ideas and beliefs, perhaps in cooperation with God, or
are we at His mercy.
