Gabriel Black finds himself sentenced to prison for life without the possibility of parole for a murder he did not commit. In a twisted sense of honor, he takes responsibility for the action of a woman he loves and pays for it with his freedom.
One day in the prison library Gabriel reads about a man with a wonderful family and a successful career who finds that he has been cured of cancer—thus proving, the author says, the existence of God. Gabriel is unmoved. A truer test of God’s existence would be to find proof of Him in a disgusting corner of the world like prison, without hope, surrounded by violence, hatred, and indifference.
Gabriel starts a file where he can store any evidence of the divine he comes across no matter how unseemly. In brutal, honest language, he uncovers himself and the world while surviving in a hopeless hole, swimming in angry memories and regret.

The God File captures the tragedy and comedy of human foibles perfectly. Frank Turner Hollon is the editor's dream. He scribes at a near flawless level and my blue pen hardly touched the page. He writes, and lives, in the great Southern tradition.
Frank Turner Hollon graduated from Louisiana Tech University and Tulane Law School. He lives in Baldwin County, Alabama, with his wife where he practices law in Robertsdale.
Hollon’s first published work, the novella The Pains of April, received abundant praise for his sense of style, compelling voice, and honest storytelling.
The Pains of April was first published by Alabama bookseller Sonny Brewer of Over the Transom Publishing Company in 1999.
