What Light on Yonder Lawyer Breaks kindle

What happens when a man who believes he needs neither God nor anyone else is forced to confront the life he has chosen?

Isaac Lazarus Bacon is brilliant, ambitious, wealthy and convinced that he is the master of his own destiny.

A Harvard-educated lawyer and gifted courtroom performer, Ike Bacon rises from star attorney to congressman to U.S. senator, with his sights set firmly on the White House. He has money, intelligence, charm, political instincts, and an almost limitless confidence in his own abilities. He also has an appetite for women, fame, power, and pleasure that repeatedly threatens to destroy everything he has built.

Then it does.

After a spectacular fall from political grace, a humiliating paternity battle, divorce, scandal, and years spent rebuilding his life as a lawyer in a small Arkansas town, Bacon seems to have escaped his past. But when he finally returns to the national spotlight, his ambition leads him into an increasingly bizarre series of legal battles, political intrigues, personal humiliations, and encounters that challenge everything he thinks he knows about justice, morality, and reality.

And then comes the reckoning.

After a catastrophic turn of events, Bacon is forced to confront a question he has spent his entire life avoiding: What if there really is something beyond the material world?

What follows is a surreal journey through life, death, judgment, memory, faith, and redemption. Voices speak to him. The boundaries between reality and illusion begin to dissolve. The arrogant lawyer who once believed that human beings are merely the products of nature and that men rise and fall by their own abilities must finally consider the possibility that his life has a purpose beyond wealth, fame, and power.

Part legal satire, part political parable, part theological exploration, and part dark comedy, What Light on Yonder Lawyer Breaks follows one man's astonishing journey from self-made success to disgrace, from skepticism to faith, and from spiritual blindness toward the possibility of redemption.

At its heart, this is a story about the prodigal man and whether it is ever too late to come home.

If you enjoy provocative fiction that mixes politics, law, religion, philosophy, dark humor, and the supernatural, Isaac Lazarus Bacon's strange journey will give you plenty to argue about long after you finish the last page.
