Description
Henry Bright has returned to West Virginia from the battlefields of the First World War, his heart heavy with grief over the loss of his young wife. With an infant son to care for, he faces a daunting task in rebuilding his life. A mysterious angel promises to protect him and his child, but the shadows of war still haunt Bright's every step. As he navigates the ravaged landscape, Bright is pursued by the ghosts of his past: the Colonel, his dead wife's father, and her two brutal sons. With no clear path forward, Bright must find a way to heal and move on from the trauma of his experiences in France. A poignant and powerful novel explores the human cost of war and the search for redemption. Josh Ritter's exclusive conversation with Neil Gaiman appears in the back of the book, offering insight into the author's creative process and the themes that drive this haunting and thought-provoking story.
