This is a strange book--a quick read, basically a modern setting for the Bible's story of the Virgin Mary. She is 14, and is pregnant without having had intercourse; she develops a following and performs healings. Quite an interesting retelling of the tale...by its end, the reader is left wondering if it is divinity or madness...
The story of a girl who becomes divine and then utterly helplessly human all within a year. It's a tale of possibilities and deception; selfishness and redemption.
Really wonderfully done.

Great book! You'll love this one. A well told story from a lot of different points of view but you don't get lost!
very enjoyable read-
I really enjoyed this book, I didnt want to put it down.
A town believes that a young girl is the Virgin Mary because a homeless man thinks he sees her hovering above him. Very touching!
An interesting book about a teenager who "finds herself in the center of a storm of fervent belief and doubt" (<--from the back of the book). Told from multiple points of view, with a fairly solid plot. I enjoyed this book.
