The Beginning Of The Last Temptation

Private Julie Cooper is going insane. Or is she? She's a soldier. She's an atheist. And she can heal wounded GIs in Iraq by laying her hands on them. She doesn't want this: the ability, the attention, the confusion. But the US Army needs her, owns her, and requisitions her powers. And all those dying boys...how can she say no? She needs to solve this puzzle: Where does her power come from? Why has it captured her? Maybe her father could help her understand - but where is he? Maybe her mother - but who was she? In her search for answers, Julie crosses the continent and comes face to face with her creator, and with the ultimate futility that surrounds her gift - or curse. How can she use her power without becoming just another 21st Century American celebrity, trailed by paparazzi and TV cameras? In THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST TEMPTATION, New Testament stories are deconstructed and the threads rewoven into a compact tale of modern magic, exploring how one human being reacts to what may be divinity within her. Julie's best chance for peace is to find out who in her life is driven by guilt, by betrayal, by voodoo, and by the last temptation - immortality.
