In the two decades since her death, strange miracles have visited those who faithfully tend her grave; some believe her spirit can cure deadly illnesses, while others credit her with the towns economic prosperity. Word of the legend spreads and small plains becomes a haven for an onslaught of spiritual seekers and the terminally ill, all hoping the virgin will answer their prayers. When the mysterious mitch newquist reappears and a vengeful tornado devastates small plains, the truth begins to emerge.. What really happened seventeen years ago? Why did mitch suddenly disappear the same night the virgins body was found - abandoning his first love, abby reynolds? And why are some of the towns leading citizens so determined that the truth remain buried? Paperback in goede staat
