Publisher's Synopsis
Rahja is an ailing old man. As his life draws near to its end, he begins to experience visions of his past and glimpses of eternal life. Failed relationships, long bouts of unrestricted alcoholism, and the longtime estrangement of his only son haunt his dying days. His attempts to resolve these issues find an unlikely ally in the companionship of an aging Catholic priest named Padre Pauly.
Padre Pauly has also confronted similar tribulations. With his help, Rahja comes to sudden promise late in life. He finds resolve in the realm of the unexplained. Rahja's answers come in the form of inspired healing and the plainly mysterious. On his lonely path to rejuvenation, Rahja finds brief connection with his first and only wife, Rose. His answers come in the form of questions. His problems are answered by listening and quietly accepting the soft melodies of An Exceptional Zephyr.
