description: From the author of Bitterroot Landing--hailed by the Richmond State as a splendid contribution to Southern literature--comes a stunning story woven around the themes of innocence and miracles in everyday life. When the granddaughter of the founder of an isolated religious community in South Carolina is discovered to be pregnant, no amount of punishment will make her recant her statement that a holy child grows inside her.
