Women's Fiction
In the tradition of Jodi Picoult-a fresh, smart, and
deeply moving novel about the power of faith, love, and
family Thirteen-year-old Nic Delano has a lot of questions. Like
why does he have a babysitter at his age-and where did she
get such long legs? But mostly, what exactly is the meaning
of life? His mother, Lucy, an astrophysicist and atheist, has always
encouraged Nic to ask questions. But lately she doesn't like
the answers he's getting. Nic has been hanging out with a
group of devout Christians and is starting to embrace the
Bible-and a very different view of the heavens. But when unexpected tragedy strikes, Nic and Lucy's beliefs
are truly to put to the test. And they need each other now
more than ever. But will a mother and her son be able to
find a common ground where faith meets understanding and
love is, ultimately, what endures?
