The Resurrection — John E. Gardner

A passionate portrait of a family''s attempts to understand the meaning behind personal tragedy.

When Professor James Chandler learns he is dying from leukemia, he moves his family to his childhood home in Batavia, New York. There, surrounded by loved ones, both new and old, the immediacy of Chandler''s illness strikes them with new force, and the limitations of his mortality become painfully clear.

Rich and moving, and imbued with insight, The Resurrection is a poignant story of love in the face of the ultimate tragedy.
