Geoffrey Wood

Paperback 2007-06-19

Publisher Description

Has he gone crazy? Had too many espressos??Or is he really a brand new super hero? ?What if one day-suddenly, inexplicably-you discover you have a superpower? And what if it's not a very good superpower, either, like flying or super strength, and you have no idea what you are supposed to do? ?"Leaper" follows the confessions of reluctant hero James, a recently divorced, life-long barista who finds himself in just such a predicament and asking those very questions. Is his newfound leaping power a miracle from God? The result of a lifetime of over-caffeination? Or a final break from sanity? Should James " do good" with his ability? But if doing good proves trickier than expected, where do you go for a superpower manual? And what is " good" anyway? ?In this witty, unconventional novel, debut novelist Geoffrey Wood serves up equal doses of sharp humor and disquieting poignancy, exploring the meaning of redemption, beauty, and faith beyond all reason.
