Synopsis "Strengthen What Remains: A Novel of Recovery"
Brian Christopher Dildy is in prison, repaying his debt to society for an alcohol-related tragedy that shocked a community. His multilayered challenge--resuming his program of recovery, fending off the demons surrounding his crime, surviving prison life--causes feelings of resentment, bitterness, and fear that see Brian withdrawing into himself, somewhat brainwashed by his bunkmate into not only abandoning the idea of God, but condemning it. Upon his release, Brian is an angry young man, and he very soon finds himself traveling down the darkest path he has ever known, alone and unarmed. It is only through the unconditional love of a friend, and Brian's absolute letting go, that he is able to begin a rebuilding, a strengthening of what remains. This third installment of The Devil Speaks Louder trilogy is a gripping story of one man's rags-to-spiritual-riches journey, a testimony that there is a better life, after alcohol, or any debilitating stronghold.
