Believe: A Novel

by Geoff Visgilio

The night of his thirty-fifth, Jared November sits with a shotgun in his lap. Crippled by apathy, walled off from joy by a lifetime of pretending, he makes his choice. But when he pulls the trigger, he is cast into a place outside time where a voice tells him simply: YOU ARE NOT FINISHED. The gun misfires and Jared returns to himself and a second chance. Why was he spared? What does his life mean? What is his purpose? As Jared explores the mystery behind his second chance, he will tackle the questions that drive us all, coming face-to-face with his demons, his true Self, and finally what it means to believe.
