Beyond the Mist: A Last Useless Journey Novel (The Last Useless Journey)

By Kathy Bryn

Walking the shore of her home in Epoh, Hope Proper discovers an isthmus rising from the sea. Stepping onto the mysterious land, she's swept away on a quest to find and talk with God. Hope's wish is to walk in the Garden of Eden with God. Instead she finds herself traveling through the cities of Babylonia, Jerusalem, and Christianton, each with its own, distinct views of virtue, vice, and religion. In Babylonia, Hope finds herself exposed to the worst the earthly realm offers, from rampant violence to the debased rites practiced in the city's ultramodern cathedral. In Jerusalem, she watches in wonder as historical Christianity comes to life. In Christianton, a city of believers, Hope thinks she may have found what she's looking for and meets the handsome Steve Cooper. Soon, she finds herself chafing at the town's restrictions. Everyone must register, obtain a resident card, and join a church. Travel is limited to mission trips on the one way train. But Hope's heard of another city: Zionopolis. Might she finally find God there? And if so, how can she plan and execute an illegal escape? A moving, inspiring allegory, Beyond the Mist explores the search for God and meaning in an imperfect world.
