Da Ingmar Bergman, alla fantascienza, lo zen e le motociclette, cani, gatti, Dio e i baristi. Andrea Gamba architetto, ma lavora come consulente informatico. La sua produttivit come scrittore quasi inesistente. Per sa fare un sacco di altre cose. Alcune persino utili.
In this emotional faith-based novel, Mercedes Young is guarded, and no one really knows the true Mercedes. Buried hurt and anger are holding her back from living a full life. Now she has arrived at a critical crossroads, forced to confront and deal with issues from her past that are affecting her in a negative way, and then to make a choice. Her decision will change her life forever. But she is conflicted. On one hand, she can move forward keeping her life just as it is, with money and a great career...but no peace within. Or she can choose an inner faith that defies all logic and understanding and lose everything. Is that really an option? She must face her past to fully heal, but does she really want to dig all that up just to find peace? Carrying so much hurt and pain, her decision seems impossible.
