'One of the things I like best about the story is the structure. The Prisoner and the Chaplain by Michelle Berry (Naomi, Consumed by Ink, ) I WILL be reading more of Berry’s books.'

It is not for the faint of heart, but I certainly recommend this read. 'The author is able to develop a very engaging plot and real people in these twelve short hours. The Prisoner and the Chaplain ~ Michelle Berry (Lynn Willoughby, Gateway Gazette, ) If you had only twelve hours left to live, what would you have to say? Reviews | Interviews | Articles | Excerpt | About the Author Reviews Each man is guilty in his own way, and their stories have led them to the same room, a room that only one of them will leave alive. As the chaplain listens he realizes a life has many stories, and he has his own story to tell – a last-ditch plea for forgiveness told to someone who will never be able to repeat it. As the hours drain away, the chaplain must decide if the prisoner’s story is an off-the-cuff confession or a last bid for salvation. What if prison was the only world that existed for you now and everything else was a story? What if you weren’t sure if you were guilty but wanted forgiveness in any form? The Prisoner and the Chaplain is about two men one man awaiting execution, the other man listening to his story. **Long shortlisted for the 2018 ReLit Award for Novels**
