A thought-provoking look at the line between faith and fantasy, fanatics and followers, and religion and reason.

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ~ Albert Einstein

Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena's plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.

These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena's home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky. A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.

But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever... and perhaps their world as well.

"...a fully imagined, gripping read...." ~ Kirkus Reviews

I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review and honestly, thought I'd already done so. Somehow, this book got lost in the shuffle and, now that I've read it, I can honestly say that I missed out!!
This book had me hooked from the first sentence and I found myself lost in the world that David has created. I fell in love with the main characters from the beginning but they weren't the only aspects that made this book spectacular. David obviously put a lot of thought and work into each character and each of their personality traits. He managed to portray the struggle within that each person carried and how that affected the way they reacted and interacted with each other. Benjamin was so well written, with his intense desire to do the right thing at any cost but being misguided as far as what that right thing would be. He was such a conflicted person and I felt so sorry for him. Jason and Helene had so much to struggle with as they tried to find the best way to help Kailani without getting into trouble themselves and the difficulties between Helena and her mother. The story line was seamless, and everything progressed in a way that didn't drag out too long or try to hurry you to the ending. I enjoyed every moment of reading this book and was a little sad to see it end because I wanted to find out what would happen to Jason and Helena, Kailani, and her parents, really all involved. This wasn't the first book I've read by this author and I dearly hope that it's not going to be the last.

Wonderful story of a divided world that could be in ...

9 August 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Wonderful story of a divided world that could be in our future, the division of our human-ness into two non-inclusive societies, and how individuals respond to the division. Wonderful tale of growing up in such a society, adjusting to the 'other side', and finding that the differences have left people less than whole. Wonderful tome of three strands woven skillfully together for unexpected, perfect ending. Please treat yourself to this book! It is worth it!

And a child shall lead them

20 May 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Suppose the world was sharply divided into two competing societies--based on reason or religion? Could any one being, let alone a child, bridge this divide and reconcile the parties? Author David Litwack imagines such a situation in his beautifully written, delicately wrought study of Kailani, a mysterious girl who emerges from the sea and proceeds to change everything. Anyone who reads the headlines can identify the parallels with our own time, but Litwack probes deeply into his characters and avoids the temptation to create one-dimensional caricatures. By revealing both their human frailties and capacity for doing good, he allows the reader to identify with and understand the emotions and reactions of the principal players . After finishing this well-paced, introspective book, one is forced to consider how he/she would fare in a similar situation. Surrendering to the established order is easier and less disruptive than questioning bedrock assumptions even if it deadens the spirit and suppresses the soul. Litwack's novel clears a high hurdle--it both entertains and makes us think.

Great read

This book was so good. It is enthralling and to be quite honest, several aspects of this book are very possible in the forth coming future. The way the author describes events and detail in this book is amazing. The author has put in much thought into making a world of characters that are believable and captivating. I have to say that his mission was accomplished.

***I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review.***

Boring

23 November 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Ugh. Confusing and bland, I guess I'm not the target audience for this book, because obviously some other people loved it. Halfway through the book it got slightly better, but I really struggled to finish it.

I didn't care of any of the main characters. The difference between the two worlds (spiritual vs. material/pragmatic) was too weak. The main character (Kailani) was one-dimensional.

Based on an interesting concept, this book should have been so much better.
