Summary

What is it that drives a man from the light and into the dark? What force has the ability to take a man from sound of mind to muddled and confused in less than a year's time? Nick Hines wishes he knew because he has just completed the trip from husband and family man to convicted wife killer, child killer, and suspect in the investigation into the accidents that took his own two children's lives. In less time than it takes to wean a puppy, Nick has gone from sane to crazy, unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. In less time than it takes to grow a flower, he has gone from a respected member of the community to an escaped convict. Now he stands on the brink of eternity with but one decision left to make. It is a yes or no decision--black and white, with no gray area in between. If he chooses yes, he is doomed to find out just exactly what force has driven him to this point. If he chooses no, he will never know how he got there or even that he was ever there at all.
