James Rubart, author and narrator of this audiobook, spins a morality tale with a man named Jake Palmer at the center of the story. While attempting an act of heroism, Jake, a mild-mannered management trainer, is lit on fire and horribly burned—disfigured from the waist down. When he loses his successful business and beautiful wife as a result, he responds by retreating into himself. Rubart knows his character well and makes all of Jake’s anguish terrifyingly real. To try to heal, Jake goes on a soul-searching retreat at a lakeside cabin, where he has a mystical experience that opens his eyes to God. Rubart’s voice is versatile, ranging from booming to a whisper of wonder. His dual skills as writer and narrator give listeners a satisfying story. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
