Ain't Nothin' But a Stranger in This World

'Wouldn't it be funny if the worst thing that happened to us was also a gift, wrapped in a strange puzzle that was painful to complete?' In 1978, a small, peaceful Canadian town is struck by a tragic accident and the resulting death of an innocent child. Henceforth united by their trauma, the lives of all those involved are forever changed. Nothin' But A Stranger In This World chronicles the separate, and yet somehow intertwined lives of the survivors, following them over the ensuing decades through the Canadian wilderness, New Orleans, the Arctic, and South America. As a study of the human condition, Sudds' raw and powerful narrative bursts with the forces that spur, haunt, and are ultimately meant to save humankind.
