Capernaum : Revised 2nd Edition
The revised second edition of Louis Prowe's debut novel details one man’s turbulent childhood in the bucolic rural hills of Massachusetts to the morning of 9/11 and his decision to join the war in Afghanistan and his awkward homecoming. Prowe examines the ravages of post-traumatic stress from war and abuse with sensitivity and humor. The reader encounters the demons of addiction along the broken road to recovery and discovers the futility of channeling regret into violence. As he navigates a blighted landscape of unhealthy family relations and fractured friendships to work out his own salvation, Atticus finds that an act of forgiveness does not always take the shape we want or expect it to.
