A Million Heavens

In "A Million Heavens," an unlikely piano prodigy lies in a coma while his gruff father watches over him in a small hospital. Outside, a diverse group of strangers gathers amidst a New Mexico winter, each seeking answers or a mystical experience. A disconsolate wolf roams the vicinity, guarding and learning, while an angel, imprisoned in the afterlife, completes the songs that could set him free. John Brandon's novel blends deadpan humor and gritty surrealism, creating a hopeful narrative of community and connection.
