— Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here

“David Hopen’s riveting debut joins the urgency of a thriller with the devastating consequence of a spiritual crisis…and introduces a major new voice.”
— Susan Choi, National Book Award winning author of Trust Exercise

“It's a story of profound intelligence, a story of tragic grandeur, and a story unlike any other I’ve ever read.”
— Nathan Hill, author of The Nix
