Earth as It Is in Heaven

In dialect quite unlike any other, a xenophobic teenager reveals the story of his destiny begun when he confesses under the spell of his one-room schoolhouse teacher and surrogate mother that he possesses memory of the future. Only a crazy, he fears, would believe what he knows to be true, that he will become the world's best three-cushion billiard player, despite that he has never seen such a table in his life. For now, he must endure calamity-magnified by an array of wearisome paranormal gifts, including that of a somnambulist who draws in his sleep-in his rural community, where mayhem and miracles abound, moving him into the role of witness and reluctant disciple of a new religion espousing an ecological ethic.
