The Sinners’ Garden
By William Sirls (Thomas Nelson Inc)
Release date: December 17, 2013
In the small Lake Erie township of Benning, someone is at work cultivating a supernatural garden …Andy Kemp’s young life has been as ravaged as his scarred face. Disfigured by an abusive father, the teenager hides behind his books and an impenetrable wall of cynicism and anger. As Andy’s mother struggles to reconnect with him, his Uncle Rip returns transformed from a stint in prison and wants to be a mentor to the reclusive boy, doing everything he can to help end Andy’s pain. When Andy begins hearing strange music through his iPod and making near-prophetic announcements, Rip is convinced that what Andy is hearing is the voice of God. Elsewhere, police officer Heather Gerisch responds to a late-night breaking and entering in one of the poorest homes in town.

Review – The Sinners’ Garden
Reviewed by Gail Welborn
Sirls writes like a seasoned author from his realistic dialogue, to characters and plots within plots that take readers to the edge and jumps off, flipping pages faster and faster.
