Pity - Hardcover

by Tessa Lour (Author)

Alex Monet is a girl in her young twenties who has faced a number of hardships. After years of battling depression, she waves the ultimate white flag and takes her own life-or so she thinks. She opens her eyes and is startled to see her dead brother, Dominic, who tells her the attempt was unsuccessful. In the few short minutes before she is revived, Alex and Dominic visit the Garden of Eden where Adam's second wife lives with Jezebel and Bathsheba, take a boat ride with Moses, and go with Jesus to the tomb where he was laid. As more biblical characters share the true versions of their stories, Alex and Dominic realize how modern christianity has distorted these stories into harmful narratives-the narratives that pushed Alex to take her life in the first place.
