“This thing has teeth. It might challenge people; it might offend some. It has a rock-solid protagonist, an antagonist almost too awful to be real, moral clarity that doesn’t waver, and a bold conviction that carries weight. The spiritual thread is not tacked on; it’s part of the fight, part of the identity, part of the narrator’s survival. That’s rare. The narrative is unfiltered and raw; it’s not trying to please anyone; it doesn’t posture; it doesn’t flinch; and that is exactly what gives it power. This story moves and I was surprised how quickly I was immersed in it. By the third chapter I couldn’t stop reading.”
