About Product:
"How strange that all his study and prayer:, and fasting and work, and all his years of preparation should come to this. He felt the thickening in his throat. Oh why? In one night he had draped all of this with darkness. A huge feeling of longing welled up in him like a great, strong wave rolling in to spend itself against a shoreline of rocks."
Cory Davidson, a twenty-year-old missionary for the Mormon Church, is thousands of miles from home. Like his namesake, Corianton in the Book of Mormon, he has betrayed the trust and confidence placed in him. Charmed by the warmth and attractiveness of a dark-eyed Brazilian girl, he has done what he vowed he would never do.
Overwhelmed with shame and sorrow and afraid of the pain and disappointment the truth would bring, Cory shrinks from himself, his family, his church and his God.
Cory's search for inner peace brings him in contact with the zealous and exasperating Elder Richard Nolan; Elder Jonathan Knight, a friend whose goodness painfully reminds Cory of what he could have been; Helmut and Christina Bruegger, a gracious and intelligent couple who befriend him; Zelira Moraes, whose dark hair and beckoning eyes turn the Brazilian Carnival into a test of his will; and President Gerald Fisher, a man of wisdom and compassion.
Cory Davidson is a sensitive, powerful novel that explores, with insight and hope, the hollow darkness of sin's aftermath and the promised possibility of forgiveness.
