THE SURFACE OF WATER:
A NOVEL (1st Edition)
The only person who can uncover his secret has arrived.
It’s 2006, and Calvary Community Church of Chicago needs a new administrative assistant. Pastor Matthew Goodman examines possible new hire 25-year-old Trish Card. Her somber eyes, beautiful and lake-clear, watch him. What he doesn’t know about Trish and her true reason for appearing will dismantle his world irrevocably.
The Surface of Water is a story about Matthew, whose fame and isolation grew beyond his control and about Trish, a young woman trying to understand her mother’s complicated life and her own.
In the #ChurchToo era, this contemporary novel invites readers to experience life’s dark edges—isolation, power, and abuse—illuminated by the light of grace.
