This book has been on my bookshelf for years, and to date I've been avoiding it, but I decided to bite the bullet. Unfortunately it was as difficult as I thought it was going to be and ended up as a DNC.[return][return]The naming of the characters was unsubtle as a brick [the family being referred to as "the Christians"] as was the description of Joshua himself [32 year old male, virtually asexual, still living with his mother and just coming into his prime]. [return][return]By half way through I still hadnt determined *why* the government were doing what they were doing in spending all this time and money to find and promote this man. Either I missed something fundamental in the part of the book I did read, or it came later, but to be honest I didnt really care by the time I decided to abandon the book. I got little enjoyment out of what I did read and considered it very forced. Disappointing ( )

La América del mañana es un lugar frío y devastado, una nación devastada por la desesperación y el invierno duradero. En una pequeña ciudad de Nueva Inglaterra, la Dra. Judith Carriol, alta funcionaria del gobierno, encuentra al hombre que ha estado buscando: un liberador de esperanza en tiempos desesperados que puede revivir los sueños de un pueblo destrozado,, un idealista magnético y compasivo a quien Judith puede moldear, manipular y llevar a alturas insospechadas, un sanador que, finalmente, debe enfrentar la condenación a través del poder destructivo del amor.
