A taut psychological thriller, focused on a mid-life crisis and arriving at a stunning conclusion.
-- Suzanne Marrs, author of What There Is to Say We Have Said: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and William Maxwell
Richard Freis reminds us how deep our struggle remains with all the great questions—first among them love and faith. In Confession, the end result is a masterful portrait of our familiar world, where we are all obsessed with the complex machinations of the human mind, and the human heart.
