Pascal's Wager
reviewed on + 162 more book reviews


This is another excellent Nancy Rue novel. The story is about a brilliant mother who begins to slide into dementia & her emotionally distant daughter who must contront & then take care of Mom. The daughter does not believe in God. A fellow professor challenges her with Blaise Pascal's Wager to try to find her Mom's soul in the midst of her dementia. This is a good story on many levels, coming to grips by both women of the dementia, seeing each other as people with value & to be respected &, of course, the spiritual componant that makes Nancy Rue's stories so true to life. I highly recommend this book.
