What this book is about
In the small dying town of Wheatfield, Minnesota, a series of Marian visions draws desperate pilgrims. When a visitor is shot, Virgil Flowers investigates what may be a hoax, a miracle, or something more sinister. The eleventh Virgil Flowers novel is warm, funny, and deceptively sharp in its examination of faith, hope, and small-town economics.
