Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Gabriel Black finds himself sentenced to prison for life without the possibility of parole for a murder he did not commit. In a twisted expression of honor, he takes responsibility for the action of a woman he loves and pays for it with his freedom.

One day in the prison library Gabriel reads about a man with a wonderful family and a successful career who finds that he has been cured of cancer — thus proving, the author says, the existence of God. Gabriel is unmoved. A truer test of God's existence would be to find proof of Him in a disgusting corner of the world like prison, without hope, surrounded by violence, hatred, and indifference.

Gabriel starts a file where he can store any evidence of the divine he comes across no matter how unseemly. In brutal, honest language, he uncoverrs himself and the world while surviving in a hopeless hole, swimming in angry memories and regret.

Review:

"Hollon does the jailhouse blues raw and quirky....A strong portrait of a man of nobility at odds with circumstance, but, ultimately, a world not much larger than the filebox Gabriel assembles so obsessively." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"In brutal, explicit language, Gabriel shares the contents of his files and leaves it up to the reader to decide if he has found the God he was searching for or if God was guiding him all along. Not for the faint of heart, this is an outstanding example of the continuing exploration of gritty reality in spiritual fiction." Library Journal
