Description

A heartbreaking tale that never loses sight of hope, or our remarkable ability to access and claim our own resilience.

Through the literal and figurative journey upon which Sarah embarks in the aftermath of unimaginable loss, and the people she encounters along the way, Myths of a Merciful God explores the concepts of divine intervention versus the gaping silence of an indifferent universe, moral turpitude versus the virtue of well-kept secrets, and whether religion—or its absence—helps or hinders on the road to healing.

In Myths of a Merciful God you are brought along Sarah's journey of love, loss, and healing. Her daughter Tessie died suddenly, and Sarah is left grappling with the loss. After the funeral, Sarah decides she needs to leave everything behind and look to the ocean for healing - and sets out on a cross-country roadtrip toward California.

Along the way she finds more than she bargained for - a tornado, an owl friend, a mysterious diner, and tries to find what she desires most - closure.

Cynthia Celian did a great job capturing love and loss in Sarah's story.
