Synopsis

Elijah Campbell is on the verge of losing his writing career, his faith, and his marriage when a recurring childhood nightmare drives him back to his hometown, Bradford's Ferry. There, his encounters with loved ones both past and present shed light on the reason his wife left him—and the meaning of his nightmare. However, beyond the light he begins to glimpse something even more terrifying—a decision he must make either to continue hiding the secrets of his past or unhide the only thing that can save his marriage: himself.

In psychologist Kelly Flanagan's nonfiction works (Loveable, True Companions), he drew from clinical insight to explore the spiritual depths of identity and relationships. Now, in this debut novel, he weaves a compelling and plot-twisting tale that brings new life to those insights, along with fresh revelations about personal growth, spiritual transformation, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.

This is a book that stays with me. I’ve described scenes from it and why they were helpful to multiple friends.

Getting real with ourselves can often be one of life's most difficult tasks. We think we are able to hide ourselves from those we love, from God, and even from ourselves, yet the psyche doesn't let us get away with such attempts, at least not without major repercussions. Walking this journey with El......more

The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell is a wonderful chance to revisit with yourself, the people, pieces and chapters of your life. The story is everybody's story.

Absolutely loved this book 😍 I am hoping this will be the first of a Bradford’s Ferry series. I am invested in the characters and hope to hear the stories of Benjamin, Father Lou, Rebecca etc etc. I hope we get to experience Sarah growing up. Why did Gus choose to become a teacher rather than a writ......more
