The God Dam

"You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, make them twice the prisoner of hell as they were before." – Jesus of Nazareth. THE GOD DAM is the story of one such convert: seventeen-year-old Tyler Rose, whose horrific childhood – and later indoctrination into Christian Fundamentalism – drives him to the brink of Niagara Falls, and a 'leap of faith' that he hopes will finally please his 'Father in Heaven'. He wakes to find that he is not in heaven or hell, but rather a limbo state, and is further surprised to meet his unborn twin, Angelina, who informs him that he still has time to change his mind – not about what he has done, but what he believes. With Angelina's inside knowledge and guidance, Tyler begins to see the unsettling similarities between his 'Father in Heaven' and his brutal, earthly father, and finally comes to understand that he was not created in the image of this God, but rather, created a god in the image of his father. It is a revelation that not only liberates Tyler from the prison of his beliefs, but also reconciles him with the gift and power of his own free will – – which sets him on an unavoidable collision course with the darkest terror of his life, waiting for him in the great unknown beyond The God Dam.
