To Awaken the Gods

¿Where is forgiveness found,¿ she asked, her heavy eyes dropping away, ¿for one who has taken an innocent life?¿ In this, his third book, Russ Cordua has written a moving novel that traces the lives of four siblings in their search to come to terms not only with their own personal struggles, but with a family tragedy that binds them together in unforeseeable ways. Through the captivating experiences of its characters, To Awaken the Gods explores the natural human frailties associated with loss and uncertainty, and seeks to discover pathways to forgiveness and redemption. In the end, the solace they discover is found in something so simple and so common to us all that one cannot help but celebrate the triumphant will of the human spirit.
