This was a pretty good story about an intellectual atheist's search for God. After Jill McGavock's mother is diagnosed with Pick's Disease, Jill sets out to determine whether the essence of her mother still exists. She is helped along on her journey by a philosophy professor who is a dedicated Christian. He encourages her to take "Pascal's Wager" by acting as if God does exist. The book is interesting, with a good deal of information about Pascal, along with a few interesting quotes. I do feel the book moved pretty slowly and it didn't really grab my attention, although I am glad that I read it.
