The Return of Rasputin Book

Nick Brody's a modern Idaho farm kid, a good kid, the kind a father can tolerate dating a daughter—until he finds himself 'hosting' one of the strongest personalities ever to walk the earth. How did Nick come to deserve this? Isn't life hard enough, with Grandpa out burying roadkill and Great-Grandma lording over the porch with a shotgun and wad of chew?

Sure, Rasputin's infamous as the man who wouldn't die. But this is the full story. Yes, poisoned. Yes, shot, beaten and stabbed. And finally drowned. Maybe. For a century, peasants have whispered that Rasputin would return. He was a hero to them, blessed by the Virgin Herself with the power to cool fevers, stop bleeding and waken the unconscious. In the day, tales of his powers flew across Siberia and beyond, to the gilded palaces and opulence of St. Petersburg and the Tsar's inner circle. A man of God walked among them. And yet...how could a simple peasant rise to such heights? And what possibly could he have done to earn such a gruesome demise?

Nick doesn't care. The guy's an unwanted pain-in-the-ass. Why is he here, today, and unable to leave? What could he possibly have to do with Nick? He's doing all he can to get off the farm and into a life that resembles normalcy—and this canNOT be part of the master plan.

Yet it is. No one asks us what's fair, no one tells us what's coming around the corner. And even if they did, no one would believe it.
