The Wrong Side of Eternity:
A Present-Day Passion
This 'present-day passion' story is set in the overlapping worlds
of West Coast America and Rural Uganda
between the late 1970s and 2001.
Here, Andrew Greeley’s spiritually-spiced narrative style
joins with a setting similar to Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible.
The story’s depth, intrigue, and tantalizing use of symbol
will engage readers who marvel at human resilience
in the face of tragedy, appealing to anyone
feeling marginalized in a complex world.
In contrast to entirely horrific accounts of Rwanda’s genocide,
it dares to offer situational humor, insight, and Hope.
"Mendenhall definitely knows how to write."
