Book excerpt: Ben Gracik is a troubled man, barely coping with life as he struggles to make sense of the death of his young daughter. It was accidental, yes, but the overwhelming guilt combined with his wife's absence makes it almost impossible for Ben to be a father to his two surviving children. Following his wife's untimely exit, Ben wrestles with unspeakable sorrow and anger-feelings that ultimately drive him to begin searching for her whereabouts. Thus begins a journey that forces him to face his painful past, a dismal present, and an uncertain future. He meets up with several people along the way-an anxious single mother, a kindly old man, an odd cemetery caretaker-all of which who play a part in the bigger picture. Finding truth and healing will take deep soul searching and a profound faith that Ben scarcely believes in. Will he finally come to understand the meaning of it all?
