In those five years, while his zeal for God and the monastic life has grown, his love for Elijah has not abated, and he struggles daily to cleave himself deeply to God as a means to pull himself from his tether to Elijah. In this book, Aiden has become Brother Patrick aka Brother Lumberjack, living that “monastic life.” It’s been five years since he left Elijah Iverson (yes, Zenny’s brother of Simone’s Sinner) in his farmhouse to join the monastic order.
