A courtroom unlike any other. A defendant who looks a lot like you. And a verdict that has the power to change everything. The Trial is an introspective novel that takes you inside the quiet courtroom of the mind, where fear, guilt, memory, and truth all compete for your attention. Drawing on more than three decades as a student of A Course in Miracles, Robert D. Sears blends psychological drama with spiritual insight in a story that feels deeply personal and familiar. The Defendant arrives confused and alone, burdened by old mistakes and lifelong self-judgment.
