In a world poised on the precipice of the modern age, a revival preacher and his aide-de-camp follow a sign in the heavens to observe what they hope may be the birth of a miracle child. When the babe turns out to not be what they expected, the witnesses disperse in disappointment, allowing the child to have a normal, late-19th century, California childhood. When tragic events bring the preacher and the girl together twelve years later, the pair embarks on an adventure that leads them to the Big Island of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, where the girl's propensity for marvels begins to manifest. Meanwhile, agents are searching for the mismatched travelers, each with their own agenda, including celestial beings gambling on humankind's ability to evolve. Or not.
Autorenporträt
Román Leão is the author of the thrilling novel, Inside a Broken Clock: A Modern Fable-possibly the greatest dystopian/Sasquatch/action adventure yarn ever told. Leão sightings throughout Northern California have variously described him as a graphic designer, high school English teacher, punk rock revivalist, and comic book nerd. Experts famously disagree. Scientists remain skeptical, if not incredulous.
