Bound

Fiction

“In this debut novella, Aaron Brown evocatively portrays the landscape and people of Chad, exploring at each turn the cultural and social borders between locals and expatriates. Bound is a story of loyalties: loyalties to country and family, loyalties to self and others, and those loyalties tested and betrayed. His searching insight and compassion for his characters elevates this story beyond the question of parental rights to the exploration of forgiveness.”

Where I End

History & Biography

“This book is for those who suffer and those who care for the suffering; in other words, this book is for all of us. Within a great constellation of Scripture, theologians, and storytellers, Clark gives language to what increases our suffering and what eases our suffering. Clark's gentle movement between her story of pain and her wisdom about that pain reminds us of God's movements of grace in the midst of suffering.”
