Meet Jack Campbell. He's a recent graduate from law school. His entire life has been dedicated to this one goal. After all it was the family business. His father and grandfather were lawyers. Everything was going along as planned. That is until his drive home from school. He casually stopped for lunch at a truck stop, as was his custom when driving home. There he started up a conversation with a man named Homer White. Homer was a truck driver. Homer told Jack about the amazing things he had seen and done while driving a truck. To a young man fresh out of college this was awe inspiring. While mesmerized by Homers stories Homer asked Jack, " How would you like to take the summer off and drive a truck and see this country?" That one question and Jack's acceptance changed Jack's life forever. Don't get to thinking that you know the story already. What happens is not what you might think. It's much stranger.

Jessica Jeffries hates Christmas. With all the commercialism, stress and chaos, there are a lot of people who feel the same way. But Jessie has more reason than most for hating it. She’s been robbed, dumped, caught pneumonia, broken her leg, and this year she ran over Santa Claus with her truck. Tom Dunham’s holiday is turning out to be pretty awful. Not only is he suddenly responsible for a six-year-old daughter he hasn’t seen since infancy, but Amy holds him personally responsible for uprooting her, making it impossible for Santa to find her on Christmas morning. Things go from bad to worse when Tom’s car breaks down on a freezing mountain road, but he gets a reprieve when a young woman who looks more like a Victoria’s Secret model than a tow truck driver comes to his rescue. Suddenly things are looking up—until she runs over an old man with an eerie resemblance to St. Nick.

The Confessions of Frances Godwin is the fictional memoir of a retired high school Latin teacher looking back on a life of trying to do her best amidst transgressions-starting with her affair with Paul, whom she later marries. Now that Paul is dead and she's retired, Frances Godwin thinks her story is over-but of course the rest of her life is full of surprises, including the truly shocking turn of events that occurs when she takes matters into her own hands after her daughter Stella's husband grows increasingly abusive. And though she is not a particularly pious person, in the aftermath of her actions, God begins speaking to her. Theirs is a deliciously antagonistic relationship that will compel both believers and nonbelievers alike. From a small town in the Midwest to the Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome, The Confessions of Frances Godwin touches on the great questions of human existence: Is there something “out there” that takes an interest in us? Or is the universe ultimately indifferent?
