Book Description:
A sixteen-year-old runaway, Ann Holmes, is an itinerant mushroom picker who lives in a tent. But on a November afternoon, in the foggy woods of North Fork, Washington, the Virgin comes to her, clear as day. Now, it is up Father Collins, a young priest new to North Fork, to impartially evaluate the veracity of Ann's sightings. But, as word spreads of Ann's claims to see the Virgin Mary, thousands, including the press, converge upon the declining logging town which becomes the site of a pilgrimage of the faithful and the desperate.

Very bizarre book, my mom loved it and encouraged me to read it. I found most of the characters unlikeable and the story depressing. He is a good writer and if you are in the "right mood" maybe you will enjoy the book.

A story of a runaway teen, who claims to have seen the Virgin Mary. AS her visions stimulate a tourism boom in a depressed town, they also draw the attention of the media and the Catholic Church. This is a beautifully written novel,--giving us a vivid look at the difficulty of being religious in a postmodern society.

Also wrote "Snow Falling on Cedars". "An intense and affecting jouney of faith, miracle and humanity." -- The Denver Post.
I really enjoyed this book, because it is a story about finding faith in the most unexpected places. It is the story of Ann a non-believer who becomes the chosen one in a small logging village and brings a community back to their roots of faith.
A look at how much people today need to find something to bolster their faith. Lovely, sensitve language; a delight to the senses and something to behold for anyone who loves the written word.
From David Guterson—
bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars—
comes this emotionally charged, provocative novel about what happens when a fifteen-year-old girl becomes an instrument of divine grace.
