The same day that eight-year-old Emma Wells is abducted from his church, Pastor Ron Fowler receives an anonymous letter accusing him of being a horrific child abuser who’s committed atrocious acts against young innocents. During the subsequent search for Emma, Fowler is forced to contend with the lingering doubt and confusion stemming from the letter at the same time that he struggles to continue leading a congregation devastated by grief and pain. As each day the child is not found, long-hidden secrets begin to come to light, and the only thing that becomes certain is that the small-town minister’s life – and no one else’s, for that matter – will ever be the same...

The Accusation is a stunning portrait of the living dichotomy that is the human condition. In his standout debut novel, author Curt Finch draws the reader into a compelling tale of humanity at its worst and best, highlighting the struggle we all face at times to respond with courage to challenging situations. In Fowler, readers will find quite the sympathetic protagonist, chiefly because of his ongoing efforts to combat the internal and external demons that besiege his everyday life – much like our own. Furthermore, who among us – in the midst of the most egregious spiritual storms – hasn’t dared to question God, particularly the reason for His seeming abandonment of us when we need Him most? Such issues are at the heart of The Accusation, a living, beating heart that carries the pulse of our collective humanity – for better and for worse. A thoroughly insightful, eye-opening read.
