Evil? No. I think of you more as a wounded child, alone and helpless in a dark wood. But don't think that lets you off the hook.

Life therefore seems to him a pointless thing without meaning, and he's quite looking forward to being done with it for good. Prison chaplain Fr Jacob, the closest thing he has to a friend, has struggled for three long years to convince Carl how wrong he is-to no avail.But when the day of execution finally arrives, nothing goes quite as Carl expects. Soon it's shaping up to be the strangest day he has ever had.But will it prove the worst day of his life... or the best?
