Keith and Ryan, two working dads who seemingly have little in common, meet in Keith’s cubicle to discuss business. Despite different upbringings, identities, and lifestyles — and the primarily transactional nature of their relationship — the men connect over their experiences of fatherhood; growing up in a small, rural town; and the loneliness of lost opportunities and fragile circumstances. Tender and surprising, Samuel D. Hunter’s A Case for the Existence of God shines a light on the ways in which disparate lives can commingle and create a deep and indelible imprint of empathy and connection.
