Motherhood can be magical, or it can be trouble. Children, if they come along, can grow up, or not, or even go to the moon. The world is not always what it seems, and salvation can happen in unexpected places—like a copy shop. And sometimes, although not always, there’s a ghost in the cellar.

Father Mike Albertino, worn down by financial problems in his old parish
and relentless terrorist bombings in his city, is overwhelmed by his
own inability to help terrified people. In the midst of all this chaos,
he encounters Jenna, a young woman about his age who, inexplicably,
cannot feel fear. Mike and Jenna become friends and through this
friendship discover the mysterious causes of her disorder. This novel
explores themes of faith, how we know what is real and what is not, and
the myriad ways frightened people cope in our increasingly fear-filled
world.
Belle Waters is about to celebrate her fourteenth birthday, and she is terrified. The fear of marriage looms large for her, and every other girl who was born into the Mormon settlement of Salt Lake in the 1850s. She knows it is her duty to marry and bring Heavenly Father’s children into the world, but she’s not interested in tying the knot with anyone—especially not the Prophet, an old man with a number of wives and counting. But when the US Army invades Salt Lake intent on arresting the Prophet, Belle soon realizes that the possibility of becoming a child bride is only the beginning in a series of disastrous threats.
