It's 1854 and Didier Rain doesn't want to be a rogue. He prefers to think of himself as a gentleman poet. And yet every time Rain finds himself in questionable circumstances, some animal instinct leads him into wrongful behavior. Maybe it's his Oedipal upbringing that's to blame. Or maybe he's just

β¦ Synopsis
Didier Rain is broke, lovesick, and just off a three-day whiskey binge. And yet, The Church of the Restructured Truth has been told in a vision that heβs the man to fulfill their Holy Prophecy. He must deliver Virtue β a blue-eyed infant β 1,000 miles along the western pioneer trail to their prophetβs stronghold as his child bride to be. Savages, zealots, and wildfire all stand in Rainβs way, not to mention a list of Thou-shalt-nots designed to thwart any manβs most basic comforts. But, thereβs something holy about the job β something, Rain suspects, that might just turn his sorry life toward a better path.
In Delivering Virtue β Book One of The Epic of Didier Rain β Brian Kindall takes the classic novel of the West and turns it on its head. Grandiloquent humor, pathos, and a cast of absurd and depraved characters all come together in an American Frontier world inspired by myth and legend, creating a surreal and disarmingly poignant adventure reviewers are calling a triumph of American Magical Realism.
