The Ardent Witness
“Reminiscent of Graham Greene and Barbara Kingsolver, The Ardent Witness digs into one young woman’s story as a way to examine some deep and troubling questions of our time. It’s a coming of age story for a post-global world.”
- Catherine Davidson, author of The Orchard and The Priest Fainted ( a New York Times Notable Book of the Year)
