About This Book

A Boston executive anchored in nostalgia confronts a sweeping new movement led by a charismatic evangelist who asks the bank for a pivotal loan; at home his elegant but distant wife and a psychiatrist friend form a world apart from the fervent crowds drawn to the preacher. As the financier considers backing the cause, a former companion cautions that the pledge carries personal as well as financial consequences, forcing him to weigh loyalty, ambition, and ethical risk. The tale probes the allure of mass idealism, the strain on intimate relationships, and the unsettling moral choices that follow when public enthusiasm collides with private doubt.
