The Oasis

Deep in the cornfields of southeast Indiana, where the Ohio River bends through the landscape, there is a place that does not exist. Unless it wants to find you. It has no address. It appears on no map. And the people who found it were never driving past by accident. They were invited. For twenty-one-year-old Jimmy See, it begins with a flash of light in the corn on an August evening. For Debbie, it begins with a note on her pillow bearing a stranger's name.
A name she will recognize the moment the elevator doors open. For a career criminal named Porky Seabolt, it begins with a sheriff's cruiser in his rearview mirror and a gate that opens just in time. For a retired judge who stopped believing in the justice system long before he stopped sitting on its bench, it began three years ago. Everyone who walks through the door of The Oasis was brought there for a reason.
The place knows what that reason is, even when they do not. Some searching for a dream they never got to live. Some running from a life that stopped working. Some carry old wounds and older regrets. Inside The Oasis, reality bends. The solid things are real. Everything else is something between memory and desire. In the space between what is and what could have been. People find things they stopped believing were possible: love, redemption, the peace of a truth finally told. One big story.
Thirty-eight chapters about the people who discover 'The Oasis.' The Oasis is not only a sanctuary. It is also a reckoning.
