Book of Susan | Melanie K Hutsell

1 post

Winner of the Award of Merit of the 2023 Christianity Today Book Awards -- Fiction! "Profound and compulsively readable." --Silas House, author of Southernmost New from a fresh voice in literary fiction comes this riveting deep-dive into one woman's experience with bipolar disorder and God. Her mind has never failed her--until an ill-fated dinner party. Meet Dr. Susan Huffman: wife to chancery court judge Samuel Ellison, mother to adorable Ian, and college professor on track for tenure. She's a woman who has always lived by her mind, with a plan and a purpose. But then new-in-town Lorraine Davis accepts an invitation to Susan and Samuel's home, and the mysterious visions begin. Is God warning Susan about this newcomer? And if so, how can she protect her circle of friends, her family, and her life as she knows it? The Book of Susan is the spare and sympathetic recounting of a journey--from derailment, to diagnosis, to the discovery of a lifetime.

Book of Susan | Melanie K Hutsell

Found this on Christianity Today‘s 2023 Book Awards and am looking forward to reading it. The author apparently writes this novel from a place of experience, having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago. One reviewer wrote that the writing is “raw, real, and beautiful,” and “guides readers into the reality that all of us are flawed, bruised, and broken. With that admission, there is hope and the chance for healing.”
