Summary:
"In a small unnamed town in the American South, a church congregation arrives to a service and finds a figure asleep on a
pew
. The person is genderless, racially ambiguous, and refuses to speak. One family takes the strange visitor in and nicknames them
Pew
. As the town spends the week preparing for a mysterious Forgiveness Festival,
Pew
is shuttled from one household to the next. The earnest and seemingly well-meaning townspeople see conflicting identities in
Pew
, and many confess their fears and secrets to them in one-sided conversations.
Pew
listens and observes while experiencing brief flashes of past lives or clues about their origins. As days pass, the void around
Pew
's presence begins to unnerve the community, whose generosity erodes into menace and suspicion. Yet by the time
Pew
's story reaches a shattering and unsettling climax at the Forgiveness Festival, the secret of their true nature - as a devil or an angel or something else entirely - is dwarfed by even larger truths."--Publisher description.
