McCusker, Paul Epiphany: One Family's Christmas Discovery
Zondervan 1998 0-310-22545-0 / 9780310225454 Hardcover
ABOUT THE BOOK Epiphany: One Family's Christmas Discovery FROM THE PUBLISHER Richard Lee may be gone, but he's not yet departed. In this captivating Christmas novella, as the unseen observer of the family events that follow his own death, Richard watches his children return to their hometown to attend his funeral, settle the estate . . . and come to terms not only with their father's passing, but with the disappointing direction each of their lives has taken. There is Jonathan, the starving artist whose talent languishes beneath a burden of failure. David, the family success story: practical, capable, worldly-wise . . . and cynical to the bitter bone, dying inside. And Ruth, a small-town girl who left for the big city in search of fulfillment she has yet to find. Powerless to act, Richard can do nothing to help his children resolve their struggles. He can only watch as pain and truth surface in each of their lives. But as secrets and surprises are revealed, the depths of a departed father's love for his children and those around him emerges with poignant and redemptive clarity. And for Richard's loved ones, healing at long last begins. Being dead isn't like what Richard Lee had expected. For instance, he's able to eavesdrop on the grown-up children he's left behind. Able to watch as his daughter and two sons absorb the news of his death -- and able to absorb, in turn, some things about their lives that they had kept from him. Similar in tone to It's a Wonderful Life and Touched by an Angel, Epiphany is a captivating Christmas novella. Richard, as the unseen observer of the family events that follow his own death, watches as his children return to their hometown to attend his funeral, settle the estate . . . and come to terms not only with their father'spassing, but with the disappointing direction each of their lives has taken. Being dead has disadvantages, Richard discovers--one in particular being his powerlessness to help his children resolve their struggles. But as secrets and surprises are revealed--why Richard was such an Elvis fan, for instance--healing at long last begins for his loved ones. Rolling together fantasy and storytelling with pathos, humor, and frank glimpses of life, Epiphany offers no neatly tied, syrupy endings. Rather, it gently reveals the things that make for a truly heartwarming, reaffirming, happy Christmas ending--simple, biblical values that draw families everywhere together in celebration of the birth of Christ. Author Biography: Paul McCusker is the author of Epiphany. Winner of the Peabody Award for his radio drama on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer for Focus on the Family, he lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and two children. SYNOPSIS In the spirit of It's a Wonderful Life and Dickens' A Christmas Carol, this book is a captivating Christmas novella with a heartwarming message for us all. FROM THE CRITICS Library Journal When Richard Lee dies in a freak accident one Christmas season, he is surprised to discover that he doesn't go straight to heaven (or hell). Instead, he is allowed to linger on Earth to observe how his three children react to his death. Although he had expected his sons and daughter to be affected by his passing, especially during the holiday season, he is surprised at some of the changes they make in their lives now that he is gone. Strangely enough, Richard also discovers a new closeness to his children before he moves on to join his deceased wife in another life. Fans of TV's Touched by an Angel should find much to enjoy in both McCusker's (Catacombs, LJ 4/1/97) depiction of the strength in an ordinary family's love and his sentimental look at the season and its religious meaning.

McCusker, Paul The Faded Flower
Zondervan 2001 0-310-23554-5 / 9780310235545 Hardcover
ABOUT THE BOOK The Faded Flower FROM THE PUBLISHER Funny, the difference a few hours can make. At 4: 30 P.M., Frank Reynolds still has a sense of accomplishment and control. By five o'clock, he's lost his job of twenty-two years. By six o'clock, he's learned of his father's Alzheimer's disease. An hour-and-a-half is all it has taken to turn Frank's world upside down, thrusting him and his family onto a path none of them could ever have expected. The one certain thing now is change. For Frank, that means grappling with the painful implications of unemployment and his father's illness. For Pap, it means facing the heartbreaking realities of the affliction that is stealing his mind. For Frank's high-school-graduate son, it consists of finding his own path in life despite his father's disapproval. And for Frank's wife and daughter, it involves surprisingly pleasant discoveries as the family, moving to Frank's childhood town, creates a future amid the ghosts of Frank's past. On the outskirts of Peabody stands an imposing old mansion known as The Faded Flower. For many, it is both a beginning and an end. For the Reynoldses, it is the place where God's grace will unfold, changing their understanding of what life is about--and for Frank, resurrecting faith, hope, and purpose in ways he's never dreamed. Author Biography: Paul McCusker is the author of Epiphany. Winner of the Peabody Award for his radio drama on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer for Focus on the Family, he lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and two children. SYNOPSIS Frank Reynolds loses his job of twenty years-just as he's being forced to consider a nursing home for his aging father. Families change, bodies (and minds) age, dreams fade-but in the midst of it all, people are reconciled to one another and faith ultimately triumphs. FROM THE CRITICS Library Journal Within two hours, Frank Reynolds loses his job of 22 years and learns that his father has Alzheimer's disease. As his life turns upside down, he moves his family back home to care for a father who denies that anything is wrong and resents Frank's interference. For Pap, Frank's return means having to consider long-term care. And for Frank's son Greg, the move means standing up to his father and choosing his own path in life. At the Faded Flower, a retirement home on the edge of town, Frank finds a new purpose, a renewed faith, and a stronger sense of family to help him through the darkness to come. Like Terri Blackstock's Seaside (LJ 2/1/01), McCusker (Epiphany) offers a look at a family whose faith may be the only thing keeping them together as they face a deadly illness.

McCusker, Paul The Mill House
Zondervan 2004 0-310-25354-3 / 9780310253549 Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK The Mill House FROM THE PUBLISHER The Mill House is a story of love, heartbreak, and joy. Late in World War II, after a last-ditch attempt by Hitler to decimate the English, ten-year-olds Adam and Elaine are brought together in dire circumstances. With a bombed-out church as their only sanctuary, their friendship builds as they work together to reassemble the shattered pieces of stained glass. Theirs is a friendship that endures a great deal. Through the end of the war, over long distances and disapproving families, Adam and Elaine's friendship remains solid--though their social status threatens to tear them apart. Adam is determined to make something of his life so that he can be with Elaine. Despite the fact that Elaine's parents don't approve of their friendship--since Adam is from the lower class and Elaine is from the upper class--Adam is bright, hard-working, skilled in a trade, and determined to marry Elaine. But their differences prove to be too much. As Adam prepares to propose to Elaine, he is duped by a well-to-do, jealous friend of Elaine's, Gerard, and his pal Trevor, into believing her affections are not for Adam after all, but for Gerard, who is from a much more suitable family. Adam leaves town heartbroken and ashamed, led to believe Elaine merely feels sorry for him and that he could never be good enough for her. Adam jumps at an opportunity to go to America, and leaves without ever speaking to Elaine again. Fifty years go by. Adam has become a seemingly hard-hearted man who married for practicality and believes his children and grandchildren should do the same. He became a great success at his trade and was twice married. His grandson, Nicholas, an aspiring minister, is set to marry a woman--aperfect Christian and "pastor's wife" named Kathy--whom he does not truly love. Meanwhile, back in England, Elaine fell in love and got married, never knowing why Adam suddenly deserted her that sad day. She remains friends with Gerard throughout the years, and on his deathbed he tells her the truth about what happened with Adam. Elaine's heart breaks all over again. She loved her husband, but never in the way that she loved Adam. And she never forgot him. The news that he was driven away sends Elaine into a downward spiral of heart-sickness and hopelessness. Elaine's granddaughter Lainey enters the picture, determined to track down her grandmother's long lost love and ask him for the forgiveness that Elaine is desperate for. The investigation begins as Lainey travels to London and finally to America searching for Adam. Lainey is worried about her grandmother's failing health and hopes she finds Adam in time. Lainey does find Adam and his family, but Adam has become too cut off emotionally, and he refuses to see Elaine. Lainey and Nicholas begin to devise a scheme to get their grandparents back in touch with each other, believing that is best for both of them. Along the way, Nicholas and Lainey begin to have feelings for each other. Will their love for each other be ill-fated, just like their grandparents'? Will social class and propriety get in the way of another relationship? Will Adam and Elaine be brought back together after all this time?
