Is the free book really the whole book?
Yes. The Invitation is a complete, standalone portrait of the life — around 20,000 words, a whole reverent book, not a sample chapter or a teaser. It is yours to keep, and it never expires.
How do I read it? Do I need an account?
Enter your email and we send a single sign-in link — no password to invent. Your library opens in your browser, holding the book, and your reading place is always kept across your devices.
Is there an audiobook?
The three volumes are available as ebooks today; the audiobook narration joins your library when each life is voiced, at no extra cost to owners.
What does it cost, and what am I buying?
The free Invitation costs nothing. All three volumes in ebook are $9.99 together, or $4.69 each, kept in your library forever.
