The Book of Cain James Pressler

The best of people yield to society's evils, and everyone can be redeemed. From the inner city comes Mark Cain, a man of simple beliefs who also thinks he is Cain, Son of Adam, Brother of Abel, forced to walk the Earth beyond the judgment of Man until he is forgiven. He is cursed to know neither friends nor enemies, love or hate, or any judgment from society. Then he meets someone who is different. Inexplicably, she can judge him, sympathize with him - even show concern. Mark's solitary life now has someone reaching to him. Is she divine? Has she been sent to relieve him of his curse? Or has he failed to redeem himself? All he knows is that he must follow her, obey her, and find out how she can lead him to redemption. This work of literary fiction with modest religious overtones is set in the inner city, but tells a tale that is, at its core, about the human view of judgment and salvation.
