Choosing Sophia — Brad Stephens

This is the second installment of the Corpus Christi Chronicles. It focuses on the problem of addiction in two of the main characters: Dean Frailey who struggles with over eating and obesity and Charles Fagen who struggles with alcoholism and issues relating to his views of philosophy. It is the story of their struggle to overcome their bondage and walk in freedom for the first time in their lives. While it does not continue the story of Volume 1 (Do Justice and Love Mercy) it does continue to weave in the lives of many of the characters from the first novel and put them in context of the new story line.
