The Book of Seven Truths: A Tale of Hope and Restoration
Twenty-one-year-old Anton Beaufort tells the story of how his family's misfortunes during the Depression led to his close relationship with God. Left homeless at age ten with his mother when his father goes to Duluth to look for work, Anton is hit by a truck and left paralyzed from the waist down. Then they meet a mysterious stranger named Hajji Rhovee, who gives them shelter and food, along with a small booklet containing the seven truths: the seven things that brought Rhovee closer to God. Miller (My Son, My Savior, Chariot Victor, 1997) writes with a lyrical elegance that overcomes a few weak plot points, e.g., Anton is not taken to a hospital after he is run over.
