What if the best way to study God... was to become human?
She was born one of the Zaathi, a scaled and lizardlike race-cold-blooded, brilliant, and emotionally detached. But to understand Earth's dominant species, this alien scientist is about to go all in.
Genetically reengineered into human form and dropped into a small American city, she's here to observe, learn, and answer the most bewildering question of all: who-or what-is God?
But as she navigates the strange rituals of daily life-from awkward meals to unexpected kindness-her mission of observation begins to blur into something dangerously personal. The more she lives among humans, the less alien she feels.
A Distant Heart is a quietly profound science fiction tale about belief, identity, and what it truly means to be human.
