Grief can do terrible things to us.

It can hold us still in time and skew our perspective. 


This riveting, powerful novel is a story about William Maldonado, a man who is grieving deeply.

Maldonado grieves the loss of his father as a child to war.
He grieves the loss of his mother as a young adult to an illness.
He grieves the loss of an opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree.
He grieves the loss of his professional reputation to an accusation of insurance fraud.


Subterranean sorrow leads Maldonado to make wrong-minded decisions that eventually land him in prison and then to a halfway house. One day, as he tries to understand his grief, he blames the world - and, in particular, a former business partner.

Full of rage, he returns to the city where he experienced his deepest wounds. Upon his return, he discovers that his former business partner, now a Pentecostal minister, emerged unscathed from the insurance fraud scandal that sent him fleeing for a decade. That discovery thrusts Maldonado on a path of revenge and into the roiling world of church politics, where he joins a secession group that wants to fire his former partner. It takes the whims of fate and new friendships for Maldonado to experience clarity of purpose.


It takes a journey to release personal pain.
