Wow....I just finished reading a novel debut by a new author I discovered at the library.
What a spellbinding book!
I could not put it down.....I read it in 3 days.....if I hadn't traveled up north this past weekend, I would have finished it in 1 day......it was that good!

Genre: secular fiction
Setting: California and the East Coast
Appropriate for ages 16 and older
Summary: A young man, married, and the father of one young son, feels like there is a "hole" in his life. It gains courage to reconnect with a troubled past and learns that his parents have passed away. While visiting their graves, he discovers his own grave! Apparently, he died at age 3!!!
He begins to put together a very heartbreaking truth about his family.
This book shows readers the consequences of loss & tragedy...and the cost a child can pay for a parent's guilt.
The reader will empathize with each and every character.....I was drawn in to the story right away....it is a page-turner!!
A very emotional book.....get the kleenex ready!
From the book jacket: "As he turned toward the third headstone, Justin's eyes were blurred with tears. The stone was smaller and far more weathered than the other two. It took him a moment before he could clearly see its inscription: Thomas Justin Fisher
August 5-1972 - February 20, 1976
Justin had come in search of his father's grave. And found his own."
