Once in a while a story comes along that resonates with the very essence of what we call "humanity," and speaks to listeners of every age. The Deer Effect is that story - lauded for its artistic touch, its tender tapping at emotion, and its mesmerizing ability to speak to the hearts of listeners around the world.

When his wife, Hannah, is found dead on the road near the carcass of a fawn, Rod Demsey sets out on a journey to find her killer (with his dog who seems to be able to communicate with spirits). His grief causes his faith to wither until an unexpected turn brings Rod face-to-face with the only person who can tell him what really happened to his wife.

The Deer Effect is a story of loss, redemption, and forgiveness. From the author of Drowning - winner of the 2011 Forward National Literature Award for Drama, The Deer Effect will be a great listen for fans of Mitch Albom, Garth Stein, and Frank Peretti.
