Steven Roger's novel "Into the Room" would have been right up legendary director Frank Capra's alley. A redemptive story of a man wracked by guilt over his alcoholism and the resultant failed marriage, Roger's first published book pulls no punches in illustrating the destructive effects of addiction and the consequences of living a life without faith.Ben Cahill is a real estate developer, and profligate alchohol abuser. Rogers tells the story from his perspective, and it reveals that, while our protagonist's life is in free fall, there's a part of him that is self aware enough to know he needs help.Of course, the grip of alchoholism is strong and Rogers describes the struggle with unsettling detail, and gritty honesty.Of course, this being a faith based novel, we soon learn that Cahill has not been placed on this trip by accident. In fact, as we learn of a Capra-esque plot twist which reveals an underlying support staff focused specifically on Cahill's well being and redemption, the reader begins to see the hope of salvation gradually come into focus. The various chapters labeled as "Progress Reports" littered throughout guide us like bread crumbs to a resolution full of promise.While this may seem an inevitable result, Rogers does a good job of showing the steps along the way. Character development, while somewhat rudimentary and stereotyped, also progresses at a believable pace, and tugs the reader along at a comfortable pace.The same could be said of some of Capra's greatest movies, so Rogers is in good company on this one.And it sounds like we have not heard the last of Ben Cahill. From the author's blog, it appears this is one of a trilogy of novels. I'm eager to see what's next for our intrepid hero!
