Saved
Coming soon — Jan. 2024
"Magee crafts a gently sacrilegious satire that finds humanity and humor in Frank's journey of self-discovery, with the unconventional love story that develops between Frank and Daria adding a charming emotional note." —Publishers Weekly Booklife
SAVED is the hilarious, high-spirited story of Frank Tripping, a Midwestern family man and a conservative Christian, who comes to suspect his new next-door neighbors are drug dealers. Frank, living in an evangelical bubble in the mid-2000s, doesn’t know much about this category, “drugs” but he sees it as his duty to investigate. In doing so he steps out of his church-based world, leaps over the cultural divide and finds the outside world not what he was told it was. A satire that doesn’t stray too far afield from reality, SAVED takes place in the years just before evangelicals went gaga over MAGA. Frank Tripping’s journey, a heart-warming hoot, is the perfect antidote for our divided times.
Doug Magee is a writer, photographer, and filmmaker living in New York's East Harlem. He is the author of four novels. His produced screenplays include HBO's Somebody Has To Shoot the Picture. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary, but don't let that fool you.
