Jake Palmer's life is irrevocably changed when a freak accident burns over half his body. His self-worth always hinged on what he could do, not who he was. Ironically, Jake's motivational speaking career helps others find their inner self-worth while he is unable to do the same. A chance meeting with a stranger on a plane causes him to reconsider his life, offering Jake an opportunity he can't refuse. But our protagonist discovers that true healing can only come from acknowledging the wounds within.
VERDICT Two-time Christy Award winner Rubart's (The Five Times I Met Myself) mesmerizing tale about one man's journey of self-realization, forgiveness, and healing, will be appreciated by fans of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead or Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift from the Sea. Book clubs will find lots of meaty ideas here.
