description: A Featured Alternate of the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild What would happen if an ordinary teenager was suddenly proclaimed a modern-day Holy Virgin? That is the premise of Janis Hallowell's wise and provocative debut novel. The Annunciation of Francesca Dunn is a beautifully crafted tale about people who pin their hopes for spiritual salvation on a young girl; and how, slowly, surely, and tragically, she comes to believe that she is the divine being they want her to be.
