EVERY LIFE HAS A STORY WAITING TO BE REVEALED.
In a house frozen in time, three place settings gather dust, holiday cards whisper reversed greetings, and a cracked mirror splinters the light into fragments that will not cohere. From this stillness, one child’s life unfolds across decades and perspectives: a marriage quietly unraveling, grandparents attempting a clean break, a teacher offering structure that cannot contain what has already fractured, a waitress watching with older-sister concern, a poet offering temporary shelter. Each voice sees only a piece; none holds the whole.
Nan becomes Robin, Robin becomes Nancy, Nancy becomes Ellen—names changed like addresses, in the hope that distance might erase what cannot be forgotten. Yet the past persists: in nightmares, in a stuffed monkey that listens without judgment, in the echo of a promise made at eight years old. The Book of Revelations is a meditation on memory, guilt, and the limits of protection. It asks what remains when everything familiar is taken away, and whether some absences can ever be filled—or whether they are simply carried forward, until the moment the last story is finally revealed.
Advance Praise
FIVE STARS "Emotionally complex literary fiction that is exceptionally well written and uniquely formatted." — Jamie Michele for Readers’ Favorite
“Haunting, layered, and exquisitely crafted, The Book of Revelations weaves a fractured life into a luminous mosaic of shifting voices and identities, drawing readers into a profound meditation on memory, loss, and the stories we tell to survive long after innocence is gone.” – NewInBooks
"A strong, risky read from an author who clearly gives a damn." — Strange Girl Book Reviews
The matter-of-fact statements about even the saddest of circumstances subtly communicate the detachment that trauma can cause. — CJ Simone, author of the "Children of the Mob" series.
“Readers looking for a calm, reflective exploration of trauma and its lasting effects will find much to appreciate here." — Jen If author of Monarch Memoir
“I love your prose. Your pace. Your voice. Your book. You are amazing. This is real literary fiction. I'm in love with your book. The way Nancy measures her one allowed cigarette, the way Sid’s collar feels too tight, the way Nan talks to her stuffed monkey about secrets. The 1965 suburban world feels completely real, and completely suffocating. Everyone is performing “normal” while something beneath the surface is cracking. Just beautiful. I adore it.” – ARC Reader
“A thoughtful and compelling novel that sincerely explores themes of personal struggle, accountability, and renewal. The characters are well defined and thought provoking. The writing is clear and reflective, allowing the character's growth to unfold naturally over the years.” – ARC Review Excerpt
