"What if Heaven is everything they say it is? What if it's this wonderful place where you can have everything you ever wanted and be happy forever? And nobody told us?"
Lonely 14-year-old Char Fisher isn't as popular as her beautiful younger sister, Kayla. Jealously they bicker and argue. Then a family trip to Cleveland changes everything when their mother has a major meltdown over a pro-life protester.
After her beloved Abuelíta Isabel dies, 17-year-old Tia Esperanza gets uprooted from her childhood home in San Antonio when her mother decides to move them all to Cleveland. Now, they're closer to Tia's father, but things aren't exactly working out. She'll be graduating soon, and then what? She's so busy working and helping take care of her special needs brother while her mother works nights that she doesn't have time to think about anything else.
Char and Tia come from totally different worlds, but when a chance bus ride in a terrifying storm throws them all together in Holy Angels Monastery, something beautiful emerges that even Tia with her Catholic upbringing couldn't have expected.
This true-to-life young adult novel is packed with gripping adventure, heartwarming humor, and a stunning conclusion that you won't see coming!
"In the Palace of the Great King is an engaging, prayer-provoking, and truly beautiful read... I thoroughly enjoyed every word of it."
