by Curtis Smith (Author)
The world has broken Jason Driscoll's heart. His abusive father. The daughter he lost to cancer. Buried beneath medical bills, he becomes entangled in a scheme that drags him to new depths. Violence. Infidelity. Murder. Having lost all he's ever held dear, Jason stands alone at the edge of the world, and it's here he meets an odd, lonely child. A boy he saves from a riptide, and who, in return, saves Jason from his past. Rendered in terse yet lyrical prose, Deaf Heaven is a story of loss and redemption and the truth that salvation sometimes waits in the unlikeliest of places.
