Physical therapist Chris Jacobs grew accustomed to teaching his disabled clients to gain renewed independence with his skilled hands. But when his hands touch Jonah Quest's electrically charged head, the rules change, transporting both of them to a different reality. Years later, a lightning storm lands Chris's curious son in the hospital, sending him on a magical journey through space and time where he meets his father's spiritual guide. Swallowing Jonah is part of a two volume journey that illuminates the hardships that families endure while caring for their fragile dependents, an experience that takes them to a place of enrichment and love.
