“In Kairos, an engaging first novel that wrestles with hard questions
of pain and injustice, Lehman refuses to settle for easy answers. The
story offers the suggestion of healing and new possibilities. Amidst
their brokenness, the characters come to life and learn to function as
a community rather than only individuals. Lehman does well to present a range of issues—care for those marginalized in our
society, concern for matters of international justice—without allowing
these themes to overwhelm the plot.”
