Father Mike Albertino lives in fear that his congregation will discover he has become an atheist. Worn down by financial problems in his old parish and relentless terrorist bombings in their decaying city, Mike is overwhelmed by his own inability to help terrified people. In the midst of all this chaos, he encounters what appears for all the world to be an angel. Shortly thereafter, he meets Jenna, a young woman about his age who, inexplicably, cannot feel fear. Mike and Jenna become friends and discover that her disorder is the result of something deeply mysterious in her past. This novel explores themes of faith, how we know what is real, and the myriad ways frightened people cope in our increasingly fear-filled world: through religious faith, science-based medicine, and the more common method of denial.
