The Gospel According to Danny
The Gospel According to Danny is a deeply human story about love, fatherhood, and the cost of a divided nation, perfect for fans of Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, and We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. As Danny grapples with the loss of his values, beliefs, and sense of self, he must ask: Is there anything—or anyone—left to come home to?

“Hicks writes of class and race, parenthood and love and friendship, violence and grief, and, most of all, transformation. Hicks is wise and compassionate, as he narrates this very American tale.”
“Hicks deftly and defiantly explores how we chart our own individual destinies, as well as how we’re each shaped by the shareable dreams of marriage and parenthood, family and country.”
“Hicks offers a deeply effecting portrait of a young man misspending his life into wisdom, empathy, and the capacity for love that, against the odds, makes it all worthwhile.”
