A novel. A Belize-to-Los-Angeles retelling of the Book of Job.

Before he was anything else, Josiah Flowers was a pastor's son — raised in a wooden city on stilts over the water in Belize, taught to hunt, to preach, and to keep two hands: one for God, one for the family trade his father never talked about on Sundays.

The trade follows him to Los Angeles anyway. So does the reckoning.

Across four decades and two countries, Josiah rises, builds a family of five children, and inherits a legacy he never wanted — until the ground gives out from under him all at once, in a single, unbearable day, and he is left with nothing but a question as old as scripture: what do you do with a God who gave you everything, and then let it burn?

A complete novel in four parts, from the author of MINT: Part One. Includes both EPUB and PDF formats.
