FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rave reviews for To and Fro Upon the Earth: A Novel

To and Fro Upon the Earth, the latest novel from Markus McDowell,has been published by Riversong Books and is now available. Fours years in the writing, it is a modern take on an old story about meaning and faith in the face of tremendous loss and grief.

The debut novel from author Markus McDowell, this literary work is a re-imagining of an old-fashioned story of grief and the search for meaning in a world that seems not only uncaring, but vindictive. To and Fro Upon the Earth is a captivating (and disturbing) story about a man who rejects the common answers to life, suffering, and injustice. In his life, in his dreams, and in painful flashbacks, Jay Adam faces the agony of grave injustice, experiences the cold hand of fate, and reluctantly embarks upon a questionable search for meaning and hope.

—Riversong Book press release

“…well written…not for the faint of heart…McDowell takes perceived notions and completely shatters them…I believe that this novel is his wake up call to society.”

—Courtney Hancock, reviewer

“McDowell has expertly drilled deep into the core of humanity, exposing a raw nerve, a painful discovery but not without purpose…I too have struggled to make sense of the suffering, which has now propelled me into the present journey of grieving the losses. To and Fro Upon the Earthcould not have come at a better time in my life.

—Linda Zupancic, writer, artist, editor
