Faith, Madness, and Spontaneous Human Combustion

Provides an exploration into how science has shaped our identity by examining the elements of our immune systems such as the thymuses, bone marrow, and lymph nodes to show how they define us in extremely individual ways, and reveals how faith and love are in fact programmed into our genes.

First sentence: Last Thursday, one of those gray fall days when the starlings gather up and string between the elms around here, my first wife, my children's mother-dead ten years-walked into a pastry shop where I was buttering a croissant.
