My novel, The Father's Tale has just been
published by Ignatius Press. It is the story of Alex Graham, a quiet
middle-age man waiting to die. A widower with two sons, he is the
owner-manager of a small town bookshop, considered by all who know him
to be a "boring man, an unimportant man," and he is contented to be so.
When one of his sons disappears without explanation or any hint of where
he has gone, the father begins a long journey that takes him for the
first time away from his safe and orderly world. As he stumbles across
the merest thread of a trail, he follows it in blind desperation and is
led step by step on an odyssey that brings him to fascinating places and
sometimes to frightening people and perils.
Through the uncertainty and the anguish, the loss and the longing, Graham is pulled into conflicts between nations, as well as the eternal conflict between good and evil. Stretched nearly to the breaking point by the inexplicable suffering he witnesses and experiences, he discovers unexpected sources of strength as he presses onward in the hope of recovering his son—and himself. This is a modern retelling of the parables of the Prodigal Son and the Good Shepherd combined.
