Synopsis

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 cancerĀ—thus proving, the author says, the existence of God. Gabriel is unmoved. A truer test of GodĀ’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.

About this title

From the Publisher

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.
