Toren Daniels's anger cost him his NFL career and his family. A mean man with a brutal temper, it was almost a relief when he disappeared. His wife and children have moved on with their lives, accepting his death, until one day Toren returns changed, with no memory of where he has been. At first he seems better, the man his family wanted him to be: kind, patient, fun. But then the angry, destructive person begins to reemerge. Carol Award winner Rubart (The Long Journey to Jake Palmer) delivers a retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that is a horrifying and moving journey of self-discovery. To destroy his inner Mr. Hyde for good, Toren must strengthen his relationship with Jesus and learn to trust in Him or remain lost forever.
VERDICT For fans of classical retellings and dark, spiritual thrillers.
