Book of Days / James L. Rubart / 381 pages / R. T. Reviewer's Choice Award

This book has a very intriguing cover and the story lives up its promise.  "It is an exciting but poignant novel about how truly important our memories and choices are to who we become."  Exploring biblical ideas in a modern context, it tells of Cameron's search for the legendary Book of Days, wherein God has written everyone's past, present, and future.  He fears he is suffering from the same disease that took his father's mind and he hopes that finding the book can miraculously save his memories.  Cameron struggles with faith and with his dead wife's memory, and her foster sister.   Suspense enhances the plot as forces are at work to hinder Cameron's search.  Quite thought provoking!
