Most children are afraid of the dark. She knows better.
Six-year-old Madeline Galloway knows she's unlikeable. Unlovable. Uncanny. But when she encounters a strange man she believes to be a fallen angel, will her abilities save her life—or ruin it?
Set in coastal North Carolina in the 1940s, this atmospheric novella is part Southern gothic, part supernatural suspense. Narrated by April Doty, this work stands alone or as a prequel to the speculative women's fiction novel "Daughters of Men."
