Kelland: A Novel

“Beautifully written, a kaleidoscope of finely drawn characters and an unfolding mystery that reveals the hope and horror in the human heart.” —Alan Brennert, author of Honolulu, Moloka‘i and Palisades Park

Who is Kelland?
Two young boys rescued from the Viet Nam War. A couple drifting apart over the suicide of their only son. A devoutly Catholic child with the voice of an angel who is troubled by visions both sacred and profane. What links these seemingly disconnected people, and who is the mysterious Kelland, so determined to lay bare their hidden agony?

Angel or demon? Sinner or saint? Kelland is an enigma, a puzzle and an almost imperceptible presence who will do whatever it takes to expose the dark secrets in their lives. Kelland is violence. Kelland is sorrow. Kelland is their only redemption.
