Under the Oak with Agnes: Where lunch sacks open and life-altering truth is on the menu - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

“Death might just be the single biggest piece of dynamite that can come along for a person. It can blow a life apart.
It can also blow things wide open. There’s a difference.”

These are the words that Agnes, an unassuming hospice aide, offers to accomplished attorney Emory Harrell in the wake of his mother’s passing. In his profound grief, Emory is invited to dispense with conventional wisdom as he searches for wholeness and dares to challenge the status quo of his seemingly ideal life. At Agnes’s urging, he volunteers at the hospice house where his mother died. There, Emory meets four very different people who are in their last days—a teenage girl with a wisdom well beyond her years, a long-haul truck driver with a surprising past, a fundamentalist minister estranged from his son, and an elderly woman lost in dementia.

Emory’s journey faces many twists, turns, and challenges—not the least of which are the efforts of the woman who is supposed to love him most, yet connives to keep him safely under the sphere of her control and away from the truth he seeks.

"A thoughtful, tender meditation on mortality and transformation." — Kirkus Reviews
