Before it meant wealth, it meant rest. Before it meant size, it meant shelter. A mansion was simply a place where travelers stopped.
Caleb has lived hundreds of lives. As a farmer in ancient Mesopotamia, a sailor in Polynesia, a bureaucrat in Tang Dynasty China - each time forgetting what he truly is, each time returning home to remember. It's a perfect system for eternal beings who crave the one thing infinity can't provide: surprise.
But Caleb has grown restless. The novelty that once refreshed him now feels like a loop. So he devises a hack - a way to carry his true awareness into a human life without forgetting. What follows is a journey through one extraordinary existence on Earth, where the line between awakening and madness is thinner than he imagined, and where the people he loves most are closer than he knows.
In My Father's House Are Many Mansions is a novel about the architecture of consciousness, the weight of knowing too much, and the possibility that every life - no matter how small - is a homecoming.
