Deaf Heaven - by Curtis Smith (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A haunting tale of loss, redemption, and the unexpected connections that can heal a broken heart.

Jason Driscoll's world has crumbled. Haunted by an abusive father and the devastating loss of his daughter to cancer, he finds himself drowning in debt and entangled in a dangerous scheme. Violence, infidelity, and murder become his new reality as he plummets to unimaginable depths.

Stripped bare of everything he once held dear, Jason arrives at the edge of despair. Yet, in this desolate landscape, he encounters an unlikely beacon of hope: a lonely child he saves from a treacherous riptide. In return, this young boy may just save Jason from himself, offering a path toward redemption and a future he never thought possible.
