And on the Eighth Day

By J.T. Holden

From J.T. Holden-author of The Curious Disappearance of JB and The Boys from Manchester-comes an intriguing and compulsively readable novel set in a quiet coastal community, where two young men of very different ideologies form an unlikely friendship.

After a storm of near-biblical proportions tears through the quiet community of Dante's Haven, next-door neighbors, 26-year-old Liberal Jake Leary and 27-year-old Conservative Christian Worthing, come together to clean up their properties. Working side by side with Christian, Jake soon discovers that there is more to his straight-arrow neighbor than his Make America Great Again bumper sticker and strong Evangelical beliefs. Jake finds that he actually likes Christian and enjoys spending time with him.

But when the two young men meet an angelic young drifter and his curious feline companion on the patio outside a bar in the neighboring town of Redemption, a rift in the universe opens, threatening to swallow them all.
