Riveting, suspenseful . . . Achieves a unique harmony between otherworldly beliefs and earthly realities. - San Francisco Chronicle

Francine and Colville were childhood friends raised in the Church Universal and Triumphant, a religion that predicted the world could end in the late 1980s. While their parents built underground shelters to withstand the impending Soviet missile strike, Francine and Colville played in the Montana wilderness, where invisible spirits watched over them. When the prophesied apocalypse did not occur, the sect's members resurfaced and the children were forced to grow up in a world they had believed might no longer exist.

Twenty years later, Francine and Colville are reunited while searching for an abducted girl. Haunted by memories and inculcated beliefs, they must confront the Church's teachings. If all the things they were raised to believe were misguided, why then do they suddenly feel so true?

[A] remarkable, empathetic exploration of the nature of faith, meaning and happiness. - Laura Miller, Salon.com
