Synopsis

When a best-selling novelist begins writing an allegory of her troubled son's life, she soon wonders how much control she has over her creation. Angela Hunt, best-selling, Christy Award-winning author of more than 70 books, fills The Novelist with suspense and spiritual dilemmas. Through alternating narratives, it achieves additional drama. "... this novel ... shows poignancy and imagination." -Publishers Weekly
