It was with a strong sense of melancholy that 29 year old Amy Olson entered the supermarket that day. Her best friend, Meg, was away. Amy's parents were gone, almost 5 years now. Her life as a first grade teacher was rewarding but also predictable and, recently, very lonely. Things were about to change. Into this very ordinary setting walks Joseph Rossini. A handsome soldier who was just at the right place at the right time. Amy and Joseph fall in love and start down a path that takes a decidedly unexpected turn. They could not have foreseen the most unusual events about to unfold. Joseph's disappearance, the unlikely allies of Sister Celeste Marie and Sister Jude Rita, and, of course, the unfathomable skills of Beth Rossini. An unexpected journey-sometimes a fairy tale-other times dark and frightening.
