Product Overview
A Touch of Joshua is a compelling portrait of a man trapped in tragic circumstances by his convictions and his conscience.
Although he was at least as much in the wrong as the other driver in the automobile accident which killed his wife and broke both of his legs, Professor Joshua Newton could not admit his fault. Determined to pin the blame on pretty Marianne Marsh, Newton alienates his son, hos mother, and the community with his obsessive demand for "justice" - a justice that only he comprehends. In the process, Newton brings himself to the brink of madness.
Touched by Newton's grief, Marianne tries desperately to help Newton and, through her devotion, he begins to perceive the meaning of true justice. A Touch of Joshua is written with compassion and depth; it is a powerful novel, large in theme and expertly realized and will move the reader deeply by its extraordinary skill and warmth.
