The truth begins with a family evacuated from Saigon during the final days of the Viet Nam War. Or perhaps it begins later, with a devoutly Catholic child with the voice of an angel who is troubled by visions both sacred and profane. Or perhaps later still, with a couple drifting apart following a tragedy.

Kelland appears to them all in the guise of a small boy, a lover, a priest...Kelland is an enigma, a puzzle, and an almost imperceptible presence. Kelland is violence, sorrow, and joy. Kelland is the common thread tying five disparate strangers together.

The truth begins with a family evacuated from Saigon during the final days of the Viet Nam War. Or perhaps it begins later, with a devoutly Catholic child with the voice of an angel who is troubled by visions both sacred and profane. Or perhaps later still, with a couple drifting apart following a tragedy.

Kelland appears to them all in the guise of a small boy, a lover, a priest...Kelland is an enigma, a puzzle, and an almost imperceptible presence. Kelland is violence, sorrow, and joy. Kelland is the common thread tying five disparate strangers together.

Some advance reviews:

Paul Bens is a master storyteller. Kelland is an engaging read
with characters that simply won't let go of you. If this is a first
novel, Paul Bens has a fine literary career ahead of him.
-- Noël Alumit, Author
Letters to Montgomery Clift
and Talking to the Moon

...a full bodied mystery of human relations and the
divineness that can be found in all of us.
-- Liz at GLBT Bookshelf

Here is a book that you must read. It will keep you
thinking for a very long time---and that's a good thing.
-- Amos Lassen at Literary Pride

...the reader is drawn to find out the common thread that
binds the players, and the truth behind the tormenting secrets
keeping them walled apart from each other—and themselves.
