So much has ended and yet so little has changed: what if you could make it all go away? In the hollow desperation of a restless night, Joshua picks up his late wife's story...
More DescriptionHow much would you sacrifice to end your pain? Joshua's wife has died and yet still, each day, the same sun punishes the saguaros and the abandoned mines of Jericho, Arizona. Each night, still the same moon beats down in silver fury, and the stars, like a gleaming army, pierce the cold sky above the desert scape. So much has ended and yet so little has changed: what if you could make it all go away? In the hollow desperation of a restless night, Joshua picks up his late wife's story and poses this very question to a grieving soldier of the Thirty Years War. He writes for the soldier a celestial companion, the beautiful Amodea, who offers him immortal rapture if, in exchange, he surrenders to her all the anguish he suffers from the brutal murder of his wife and sons. However, when this supernatural release doesn't turn out to be what either man expected, Joshua and the soldier must both learn to tear down the walls of despair, and, like the deserts of Jericho, not just survive the season of drought, but thrive in it.
