Description

Author Cynthia Scott heads across Canada seeking real-life versions of Danny Anderson, the protagonist in her latest novel. Readers love his redemption story. Book reviewers elevate him to literary sainthood. Only Faye, Cynthia’s life-long friend, deciphers the dark secrets hidden between the lines. The revelations compel her to take a fresh look at their complicity in a shared childhood tragedy. Different memories of the same events challenge their friendship until finally they agree on one thing. Forty years ago, somebody got away with murder.   

What would a saint do? Forgive and forget? Or demand atonement. Cynthia doesn’t believe in fairytale endings, but she learned the hard way that her readers prefer them. It was always Faye who rooted for joy over gloom. Mortal sins demand penance, though. Sometimes the only path to absolution is through suffering. 

“An author gets more than she bargains for when she travels across Canada looking for saints. While seeking the extraordinary, she discovers the ordinary goodness of the human heart and solves the mystery of her own defining tragedy. A delicious read.”
