Transmutare: A Novel

Highly Recommended.

A Novel is a story of violence, suffering, and the search for faith. Shelli Segal has been a well-behaved girl all her life; but when she visits New Orleans, everything changes. Drawn into a brutal world of alcohol abuse, twisted and violent sexuality, Shelli is on the verge of drowning. Her friends Beka, an agnostic Jew, and Katie, a Roman Catholic, need to cooperate and support one another to figure out how to not only survive, but also find a stable path forward, as well as how to understand a God that allows such horrific suffering to exist in the world. Written in first person perspective, Transmutare is raw, severe, and ultimately a quest for meaning in the mystery that is life, as well as a gritty struggle for physical and spiritual survival.

While I appreciate this review let me say that there is a single act of violence in this novel. Transmutare is a story about  unconditional love and true friendships.

Available in paperback and Ebook editions.
