Creative and impactful. Another winner from Donley!
Critical life lessons and foundational spiritual truths disguised as an engaging story about elephant heads and disintegrating penises. Need I say more? Probably., but I don't want to ruin it for you. Generational sin. Forgiveness. Repentance. Reconciliation. Getting your s--- together. It's all here. And it's a fun read to boot!
