The Price of Vengeance

Language: English.

Categories: Fiction » Visionary & metaphysical

The first time Augie saw Paul Allen, he was sliding out of the back seat of a big green Buick. What set this young man apart was a profound dedication to trouble – the kind of trouble that a small town was ill-prepared to handle. The Price of Vengeance is a coming-of-age story that asks the reader how and why we choose love over hate, vengeance over forgiveness, and truth over lies.

Praise for the work

Obijski writes with the patience of someone who trusts her reader completely. Every sentence earns its place on the page.

A rare novel that asks difficult questions and refuses easy comfort. The ending stayed with me for weeks — the way a real conversation does.

This is the kind of book that doesn't announce itself loudly. It settles into you quietly and doesn't leave. Obijski is a voice worth following.
