'The question the story caused me to ponder more than any other was that of what it takes to find a thing that's hidden, a thing that lurks within whatever it is you're staring at each day. Perhaps the meaning of the story is that you must look deep rather than far if you want to unlock any of the secrets of the universe, that once unlocked a secret loses its power unless a part of it is withheld.' From Florida to Salt Lake City to New Jersey to the Dead Sea, amidst page-turning drama and mystery, Frederick Reiken's wondrous and exquisite novel glides effortlessly across time and space in search of one family's unresolved past.
