Description: A terrible car accident occurs. Richard and Sonia, a couple with a crumbling marriage, stop to help the critically injured victims. In the process, they find a 140-year-old journal by the side of the road. Six different people have written in the journal. Though the entries span three centuries, the writers share a quest: the search for meaning in their lives. These stories take Richard and Sonia on a personal and historic journey: across Canada to the jungles of India and back to the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where a final mystery awaits. R. L. (Rod) Prendergast's first novel, The Impact of a Single Event, was long-listed for literary fiction by the Independent Publisher Book Awards in 2009. The book became a bestseller in Canada. Rod's second novel, Dinner with Lisa, was awarded the 2012 Independent Publisher Book Awards Bronze Medal for Best Regional Fiction, Western Canada. Inspired by his son's inability to sleep through the night, Rod then wrote a children's story, Baby, Please go to Sleep. The Confessions of Socrates is his third novel and fourth book. Rod lives with his wife and son in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
