Still Waters Run Deep: The Weight of an Impossible Gift
Still Waters Run Deep: The Weight of an Impossible Gift
A gripping novel of courage, power, and faith unlike anything you've read in years.
Thomas Callahan has spent his whole life trying to appear ordinary. He was born with a remarkable gift he can't explain and was taught never to reveal it. So he learned to hide it. He keeps his head down and lives small. He never lets anyone see who he really is. Only his mother knows the truth, and she has guarded it for nineteen years.
Then a trip to Rome changes everything.
One impulsive moment in a crowded city square, and the world starts watching. Days later, a falling steel beam forces his hand again, and the city gives him a name he never wanted: the Angel of Rome. Soon Thomas is pulled behind the ancient walls of the Vatican. Some men there see him as an answer to their prayers. Others see a threat that has to be removed. One cardinal, who has waited fifteen years for a sign, believes he has found it. Another orders a Swiss Guard analyst to watch Thomas's every move. And what Thomas carries could change a 2,000-year-old institution forever.
Thomas never asked to be seen. But some truths can't stay hidden forever. As the pressure builds on everyone he cares about, he must choose. He can slip quietly home, or he can finally stand in the light.
Set among the piazzas of Rome and the hidden corridors of the Vatican, this is a story of faith, conscience, and quiet courage.
What is a gift for, if not to be given? And what happens when a quiet man finally stops holding back?
