7. The Divine Animal: A Novel
(Available for FREE download as an ebook)
“My mother did not like growing older, but she often remarked that one of the advantages of living a long time is getting to see how interesting life can be. What she meant was the way things turned out, the people moving in and out of your life, the turnings and weavings, risings, failings and surprising developments.
I’ve lived long enough now myself to understand what she meant.
It’s what this novel, Divine Animal, is about.”
– From a review in Notre Dame magazine
