Healing the Dead

"Whew! What a story! Healing the Dead is one of those extraordinary novels that grabs you in its fists, stretches you every which way to the breaking point, squeezes every drop of emotion out of you and finally leaves you sitting limp and exhausted, astounded once again at the world's inexplicable wonder and folly." -Andreas Schroeder Children of ambitious parents, Jayne, Rose and David Sykes struggle to assert their individual identities in a world they believe is confused at best, brutally hypocritical at worst. When David captures the accidental shooting death of a neighbour's child on film, the Sykes family is torn apart by guilt, isolation and a terrible inability to love. Powerful and disturbing, Healing the Dead is an unforgettable story of the search for salvation amidst the rapidly changing morality of the turbulent 1960s.
