The Silence Between Prayers

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A family in rural England sits frozen at their dinner table, heads turned toward the dark hedgerow outside their window. Their movements are too synchronized. Their stillness is too complete. And when the mother finally speaks, her voice is "not the voice of someone announcing a thought she'd just had, but the voice of someone confirming a fact that had already been settled somewhere else."Three days earlier, forensic psychiatrist Abigail White had already begun to unravel.Her cases at Samford University are no longer behaving like disorders. A woman speaks a forgotten language for four minutes and never again. A child recites a psalm in Aramaic despite never having spoken a word. A man describes a surgery performed on an organ that doesn't exist. Abigail has built her career on the belief that every pattern has an explanation - but lately the patterns are looking back.When an anonymous email arrives with the subject line CONTINUATION AVAILABLE, Abigail is pulled into a hidden network of watchers who insist that darkness is not chaos, but structure. Some doors, they tell her, are opened. Others recognize you.As the veil thins between clinical evidence and something older, Abigail must decide how far she's willing to follow the questions faith has never answered. Because once she clicks accept, learning becomes joining - and what begins in the silence of one family's dining room may end in the space between every prayer ever spoken.
