About the Book

Little Bit of Faith; Literary Fiction; mystery thriller. The recovery process of an accident survivor who, scratching his own head, tries to reassemble memories of his life back into their natural order.

Book Synopsis

Anyone who handles a patient load knows how difficult some can be. Dr. Selwood (a neuropsychologist) had a real doozy of a case assigned to her, Dr. Arthur McAiden. When McAiden first began his outpatient stint at the Kessler Institute he had trouble stringing cognitive sentences together. Selwood suggested he write his thoughts down, and so he did. At first, he wrote of the accident itself, which had her wondering how he knew what he did. Then his story moved on and intertwined his recovery process with what she believed to be a work of fiction. If he was trying to have fun at her expense, she did not know. Either way, it didn't matter, but, when he moved on and began describing his take on the triune others have used to describe his faith, she wanted to file this away in the circular trash can beside her desk. Then one of his characters came to life and paid her a visit. While her patient had struggled to re-enter the three-dimensional space those living on earth call home, Dr. Selwood, in turn, now struggled to accept the continuum of life Arthur had presented to her.

Review Quotes

Taken from a review written by George Point and printed in the October third issue of the Bucks County Herald.

"Who am I?" is the first line of Dr. Selwood's journal, and as we read on we're immediately confronted with a dilemma. Dr. Selwood seems to be the narrator of the story yet to unfold, but, as a patient (albeit a voluntary one) in a psychiatric institution, is she a reliable one? It's the first of many conundrums that Monachino asks us to ponder as we page through "Little Bit of Faith."
