Sinopsis

Winner of the Award of Merit of the 2023 Christianity Today Book Awards — Fiction!

"Profound and compulsively readable." —Silas House, author of Southernmost
New from a fresh voice in literary fiction comes this riveting deep-dive into one woman's experience with bipolar disorder and God.
Her mind has never failed her—until an ill-fated dinner party. 

Meet Dr. Susan Huffman: wife to chancery court judge Samuel Ellison, mother to adorable Ian, and college professor on track for tenure. She's a woman who has always lived by her mind, and begins each day with a plan and a purpose. But then new-in-town Lorraine Davis accepts an invitation to Susan and Samuel's home, and Susan begins to see mysterious visions. Are they symptoms of mental illness or warnings from God?  And if so, how can she protect her circle of friends, her family, and her life as she knows it?


In this urgent and emotionally raw novel, a mother and professor journeys through revelations and betrayals to recover and thrive against tough odds. 


 

The Book of Susan is the spare and sympathetic recounting of a journey—from derailment, to diagnosis, to the discovery of a lifetime.

    For Sean Wright, driving a cab in the tiny Navy town of Anchor Point isn’t an exciting job... until he picks up just-dumped Paul Richards. A drive turns into a walk on the pier, which turns into the hottest hookup Sean’s had in ages. 
    After a long overdue breakup, Paul can’t believe his luck. Of all the drivers, he’s picked up by the gorgeous, gay, and very willing Sean. Younger guys aren’t usually his thing, but Paul can’t resist. 
    One taste and neither man can get enough... right up until they realize that Paul is Sean’s father’s commanding officer and the last man Sean should be involved with. 
    With two careers on the line, their only option is to back off. It’s not easy, though; the sex and the emotional connection are exactly what both men have been craving for a long time. But Paul has devoted twenty-four years to his career and his dream of making admiral. If he’s caught with Sean, that’s all over. He has to choose—stay the course, or trade it all for the man who drove off with his heart.

    Zara: Betrayed by someone I thought I could trust. Disowned by parents who never loved me anyway. Which means I have nowhere to go except to another planet. To my surprise, this new life on Tavikh is almost better than my previous one. Towering lavender aliens with long, golden-blond hair, muscles for days, and tails that put naughty, wicked thoughts in my head. So what if the village is a little primitive and I'm struggling to find my place? But then some a-hole aliens from another tribe decide they need women and the next thing I know I'm slung belly-down over some mutant camel-lion-thing. Somebody better rescue me for my sake and for the sake of the dude whose life I'm about to make miserable. 
     
     
     
    Kyler: At forty cold seasons, I am almost considered an elder of the tribe. Which is why I should not be drawn to one of the human females who lives in our village. She is most likely the mate of one of the younger warriors. Yet my eyes are constantly drawn to the weapon maker's apprentice, with her curves that make the tips of my fingers tingle with the need to explore. When she is taken captive by Njeri warriors, I volunteer to join the rescue party. Despite being our tribe's healer, I will destroy anyone who dares hurt her. Soon, I discover that it is not only her body I must heal, but also her heart.
