We keep recycling the same stories, because they're worth it. This book, an extension of the Epilogue EP, explores one such narrative—the story of a weighty grace and the road beyond—in the light of five compelling works of literature: Les Misérables, the tale of St. Moses, the parable of the Prodigal Son, The Velveteen Rabbit, and Crime & Punishment.
