AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF HUSH NOW, DONT EXPLAIN 2014 USA BEST BOOK AWARD LITERARY FICTION FINALIST Dennis Must explores the boundaries of reality and myth in his final book in a series, CIRCLING TOWARD NIGHTFALL Circling Toward Nightfall is a lyrical exploration of blood, duality, and the search for origins-a meditation on reconciling the body with the innermost self. Its narrator, Jeremiah Coombs, may be the only man on earth with two fathers. Told by Billy Coombs that he had no mother, Jeremiah later learns from his grandmother that her name was Bernadette and that she died in childbirth—despite his vivid memories of her presence in his early life. As the mysterious neighbor Ichabod Ernest Tyner takes on a growing role in Jeremiah’s life, he reveals that Bernadette was a nun from the Sisters of Conscience who gave birth to Jeremiah on the banks of the Ohio River before drowning herself. When the truth of his conception comes to light, Jeremiah is seized by a patricidal urge that drives the novel toward its haunting revelation. With characters who drift in and out like echoes from another world, Circling Toward Nightfall is an enigmatic and mythic final work.

God',s light is present ",here", and ",now",, in each person we meet every day, in the beauty of the nature, in everything that surround us and everything that fills our life. Often we are not aware of it, often we are not able to see that Light, but when it happen, when we taste God',s Love, our heart open wide making our eyes able to really see for the first time. ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,And even if nothing has changed, everything is different._,

Fables feature, not only human characters, but animals depicting human behavior, and even characters that seem at once to fall into both categories. In this story, you',ll find all three. The main character in A Fable of Grace is a boy named Cadeau (French, gift), who is born into the family of a nineteenth-century mayor of a small French city. After three daughters, the mayor had been devoutly hoping for a boy. At the boy',s birth, however, the midwife screamed and thrust him into another',s hands. For the infant, though perfectly formed, was covered with pewter-gray fur-soft and luxuriant a cat',s. ",It',s a gorilla!", shrieked the midwife, ",a monster to be destroyed!", And she fled the room before hearing the infant',s first sound-not a wail, but a countertenor ",La-la-la-la!", perfect in tone, pitch, and accent. When the infant was placed into his father',s arms, the mayor',s heat melted as the child tugged his goatee and then sang a perfect major scale. And when the wide-eyed mayor echoed it, his son joined him with a harmonic for each note. Then the baby yawned and fell asleep. Mayor Batiste, tears flowing, slowly spoke. ",I don',t know what wondrous gift has been given our family, but his name shall surely be Cadeau-Cadeau de Dieu Batiste.", And so he was baptized at home by Abbe Henri, an old family friend, who was to become the boy',s tutor, spiritual guide, and confidant, throughout Cadeau',s blessed, too-brief sixteen years. Fourteen of the years were lonely ones. The family announced that, though the mayor',s son was healthy, he was frail and must remain inside and upstairs in the mayoral mansion. And so Cadeau grew up, his astounding musical gift was unshared, the few who accidentally saw him fleeing from his appearance. He spent much time at his tall front window, gazing down over the window box',s red geraniums, laughing with the children playing games in the street, but often
