Petambi and the Moon

Petambi and the Moon is a celebration of God's faithfulness, as witnessed by the constant presence of the moon each night.

It explores the fragile yet hilarious world of teenage life, which vacillates between independence and childhood, along with a budding awareness of sexuality.

I rewrote my life to understand how Christ moved within. In the searching, stumbling heart of Petambi there are heroic and ridiculous battles with first love, the book of Genesis, alcoholism, and the shock of death.

Petambi's friend, Bear, is invisible to all but her. He is fashioned after a Franciscan Friar, who was a clown with me for nine years and who could make children laugh.

I hope Petambi and the Moon brings you joy as well.
