Publisher's Synopsis
Finalist in the 2021 American Fiction Awards for Psychological Thrillers
Caleb Allard is dying. The banality of his legacy haunts him: a pointless career and two dysfunctional children estranged from one another.
Then a voice arrives. Immense. Debilitating. It fills Caleb's skull, promising the one thing Caleb wants more than anything else-a purpose for his miserable life. It tells him of a young boy with miraculous abilities living in the Texas hill country.
Find the boy, find your purpose.
The boy is hundreds of miles away, but it may as well be millions. In pain, racing death, Caleb must navigate the tumultuous relationship between his unreliable, drug-addicted son and his obsessive, protective daughter to reach the boy before it's too late.
Hard choices must be made. And Caleb will learn that every choice has consequences. Not just for him. For his children. And for everyone and everything in the universe.
Because the price of Caleb's purpose is more than he can pay on his own.
