Purgatory – Paperback

What if paradise was the one place where nothing mattered?

Samuel Weller is dead. At forty-six, an ordinary accident has ended his life, leaving behind a daughter he never quite understood, a sister he failed to listen to, and more unfinished business than he cares to admit.

Then he wakes up in Bellwether.

It’s paradise. The weather is always beautiful. Every meal is perfect. Nobody gets sick, nobody grows old, and nobody ever has to struggle again. Whatever someone wants, the town provides.

There’s just one problem.

Nothing ever goes wrong.

For a man who spent his life repairing broken things, eternity in a world where nothing needs fixing is a peculiar kind of punishment. Every challenge disappears before it can be overcome. Every mistake corrects itself. Even happiness begins to lose its meaning when there’s nothing left to work toward.

When Samuel discovers a small group of residents determined to preserve life’s imperfections, he begins questioning everything Bellwether promises.

But challenging paradise means confronting an uncomfortable truth: not everyone wants to be saved from perfection.

Purgatory is a thought-provoking novel about life, death, regret, and the search for meaning in a world where everything is already perfect.

Sometimes the things that make life worth living are the very things we wish we could change.
