What would you do if you could start your life over? Latch onto missed opportunities? Skirt those pitfalls that caught you up the first time around? Make sure not to hurt people, especially those who love you? Of course, we get only one shot. That's where confession may come into the picture-not a whispered profession of sins conducted in a shadowy cubicle in a church, but an honest declaration of what you did during your lifetime: what was joyful, rewarding, and admirable and what you did that damaged yourself and others; what provided you with a sense of peace and what hovered over you at night as you stared at the ceiling of your darkened room, hoping for a few hours of unconsciousness. Monahan Miller's Last Confession tells that story, the tale of a once-acclaimed writer-turned recluse who, in his final year reveals his lifetime of missteps and regrets. However, the book is more than a recitation of the great man's successes and failures, noble deeds and reprehensible acts, times when he rose to great heights and occasions when he fell into a trough of guilt-ridden despair. It is also a story within a story, that of the narrator who, during the course of his time with Sullivan Moore begins to see parallels to his own life and attempts to determine how to live in a better way, one that will allow him to achieve success and contentment and not cause harm to others.
