The Book

Cover of Destiny's Cannonball by Kal Roth

Brooklyn, in the shadow of October 7th. Michael Fireworker is a gifted yeshiva student with a sharp mind, a bright future, and a haunted heart.

The haunting has two accomplices. One is Lily, a barista at the café where he shouldn't be lingering. The other is a bitter atheist who dismantles God for a living and has never met a believer worth debating. Michael might be the first.

What begins as an argument becomes a wager, and what begins as a wager becomes the unraveling of everything Michael thought he knew about himself, his world, and his future. From the study halls of Brooklyn to a truck stop in Wyoming, told in debates, diaries, and the collision of the sublime and the profane, Destiny's Cannonball is the story of a young man balancing on the edge of his faith, a frightening world, and the mystery beyond.
