Mia Ellis returns to her hometown after her father suffers a debilitating stroke. If it wasn't for her half-brother, TJ, she wouldn't have. She had no love for her father. A man who'd gone to Haiti as a social scientist with an American NGO, then left after learning he'd be a father. But when Mia confronts him in his hospital bed, unable to express himself clearly, he motions clumsily to the table beside him and says what she thinks is "All There." 'All There' turns out to be a cache of his personal journals, which take Mia on an unexpected journey that unravels the complexities of love and redemption. As she delves into his private thoughts, Mia uncovers a father she never knew-a man shaped by his own secrets and regrets. PERCEPTION, the second book in the SPIRIT series, is a poignant exploration of family, forgiveness, and the untold stories that bind us together.
