The only person who can uncover his secret has arrived.

Matthew Goodman is tired, and his one wish is for something he can't have. Instead he focuses on the demands of his work as pastor of Chicagoland's Calvary Community, including bringing a new administrative assistant onboard. New hire twenty-five-year-old Trish Card watches him with somber, lake-clear eyes. What he doesn't know about Trish and her real reason for appearing will dismantle his world.

The Surface of Water is about a megachurch pastor, a famous evangelist's son, living in a world beyond his control. It's also a story about a young woman trying to understand her complicated life. In the #ChurchToo era, this novel invites listeners to see life's shadowed edges–isolation, power, and abuse–illumined by the light of truth.

I really liked the story, which kept my attention the whole way with its depth, and believable and likable characters. The barrator was mostly ok but the stilted way she mispronounced the article “a” throughout and Spanish names like Andres was grating. Otherwise I really enjoyed the story and would read more by same author.

Great story, not the best narrator

Loved the story. Rang true on multiple levels. Writing was beautiful and evocative. But the audiobook narration was robotic and worked against the prose rather than with it. Would’ve enjoyed even more with better narration.
