The daughter who scorns religion begins, impossibly, to rise. The restless boy fleeing his home walks straight into the best thing that ever happens to him. With the patience of a creature who has all the time in the world, an ancient, cunning, increasingly bewildered narrator confesses how he tried to ruin the people he was made to ruin, and how he met, at last, the one force he was never given the power to defeat.Emotional, fast, and luminous, The Whisperer's Confession is a novel about the long roads that lead a family apart and the quieter ones that bring it home. It is a story of faith lost and found, of repentance that is never too late, and of the ordinary love between people who refuse to leave each other alone.Told, unforgettably, by the one who tried to stop them.
