Sol Harkens has it all. A new best seller, a gorgeous model girlfriend, immense success. He's the Mohammad Ali of outspoken atheist celebrities. But not everything is perfect in Sol Harkens' life. After losing his son to cancer he dedicated himself to denying God and parlayed his attacks on Christianity into a lucrative business. But Sol is empty inside. His party lifestyle has isolated him from his ex-wife, Katy, and their two sons. He resents their unrelenting faith and Katy's prayers for his soul.
When Sol's self-destructive habits end in a serious car crash, he wakes up to learn he was clinically dead for four minutes. Being dead isn't what bothers him. It's the voice. Five simple words that refuse to let him go: "Daddy, let there be light."
