From the author of 'Pay It Forward' comes a novel that is both a compelling drama and a deeply moving love story.
Hayden Reese once had it all: a wife he loved completely, a daughter he adored, and a son on the way. And then, little by little, his life came undone.
When his son died at birth, the anger Hayden had been suppressing ever since the accidental death of his brother could no longer be contained. Little by little, this rage against life and God cost him his marriage, his family and his freedom.
As 'Electric God' begins, Hayden, newly released from jail, is living a marginal life in a remote California town. He has just buried his dog - the thing he loved most in the world - and now finds that he is losing Laurel, the only person with whom he's had a relationship in years. It seems that God is not quite through with him.
But when a figure from his past turns up, Hayden is forced to re-visit and re-evaluate his life. Perhaps at last he might reach an understanding as to why he has been tested so harshly by this seemingly cavalier God.
