way to go, Kate! The author is a friend of mine and Eric's from college. I was very impressed! fyi: not a read for those easily offended.

When Estelle's husband died more than a year ago, she stopped living. As her world collapses around her she may be willing to make a deal with the devil himself to bring her husband back.

Neither a sappy nor raunchy love story, this book explores different visions of faith, goodness, and evil. As the characters make difficult decisions and engage in theological or philosophical dialog, the book can become hard to read. Aside from school work, I think that is part of what took me so long to finish the book; reading straight through it without stopping to really think about the motivations of the three main characters and the underlying claims they each make about salvation would not do the book justice. This was a great, thought-provoking read that challenged a lot of my beliefs about grace and justice.

This is a powerful first offering, coming from debut author Jeffries. I read it in one sitting and found that I wasn't able to put it down. Real, fleshed-out characters, an unpredictable plotline and a great ending.

It was fun reading a book that a friend from college wrote. Very original story!
