When David Herrick receives an invitation to a reunion from a long
forgotten acquaintance, his first reaction is to refuse. After all, he
hasn't seen Jenny, Peter or the others since they were all a part of
the same youth group two decades ago. Moreover, he isn't feeling very
sociable since his wife Jessica died six months ago. But the
invitation comes from Angela, one of his wife's oldest friends—and
mysteriously, she has something for him from his beloved Jessica.
Reluctant but curious, he makes his plans to visit Headly ManorWhen
the friends gather, they no longer resemble the fresh-faced group of
twenty years ago. Each member bears the weight of their own burden.
One has been deserted by her husband, another has lost his faith and
another is filled with anger and bile. Life hasn't been the
sugar-coated existence they might have hoped for. As they have less
than forty-eight hours with each other, they decide to be vulnerable
and share their greatest fears, Will they have the courage to bare
their souls? And if they do, how will such revelations be received?
Will they find a way to lift each other up or will their burdens be
too much to bear? This poignant, moving and sometimes disturbing story
blends Adrian Plass' rich style of humor with his knack for addressing
the deep issues we all face, such as faith, grief, love…and fear.
