"Everything's impossible, until somebody does it."
In Harvesting Eden, Kevin Rush, author of Earthquake Weather and The Lance and the Veil, returns to the coming-of-age genre with a fantastic tale of grief, abandonment, struggle, and redemption. Sixteen-year-old Tara Hartzwell, mourning the loss of her identical twin sister Teri, stands on the brink of a spiritual abyss, until a mystery girl appears, drawing Tara into an intragalactic struggle that might be the key to recovering the life she was ready to throw away.
"So, don't tell me what a friend I have in Jesus, Father, 'cause as friends go, He's not all that. And I really think I might be better off without Him."
Tara jerked her head hard to the side and stared into the distance. She barely heard Father's voice, sort of a verbal shrug, say, "That's the predominant way of the world."
"Then give me that world," she muttered.
Harvesting Eden is at once a fast-paced sci-fi rollercoaster, a spiritual odyssey, and a challenge to the insidious seductions of today's Woke agenda. Tara's journey to the far reaches of space and the deepest recesses of her soul, forces her to ask whether peace is possible for a creature at odds with its Creator.
