Brew discovers he is a single word, written by an author he cannot see. This is the catalyst for a series of curious secrets, which draw him unwillingly into the greatest battle literarily fought—the Battle of Words.
Sabotaged by a rival understudy within his own story, the author—Leonard Told—must use what Words he can to create the most powerful statement ever declared! Brew’s character must stand up to the rival’s genius and salvage Told’s reputation. 
At the end, we all must answer the question: What (kind of) word are you in this story?
 
"In The Book of Told, K A Gunn blends lived experience with metahistory, tragedy with punning, technology and theology. Her story has too much life in it to be simple allegory, and reads as an extended meditation on the phrase, 'in the beginning was the Word.' Literary criticism is turned inside out, and it is possible that your life might be also." --Pastor R.D. Driver-Burgess, MTh
