Visitations

It makes me wonder . . . how much of my childhood was real. Coreys mum has always made him feel safe. Especially after his parents divorce, and the dreaded visitations with his dad begin. But as Corey grows older, he cant ignore his mothers increasingly wild accusations. Her insistence that God has appointed Corey as his sisters protector. Her declaration that Coreys father is the devil. Soon, she whisks Corey and his sister away from their home and into the boiling Nevada desert. There, they struggle to survive with little food and the police on their trail. Meanwhile, under the night sky, Corey is visited by a flickering ghost, a girl who urges him to fight for a different world - one outside of his mothers spoon-fed tales, one Corey must find before its too late. Drawing inspiration from his own upbringing in the Mormon church, and inspired by his own life experiences, Corey Egbert welcomes readers on an emotionally stirring, surreal journey into the liminal spaces between imagination and memory, faith and truth.
