All Marie Levy Erlig wants is to have a nice normal baby.

All Adam Josephson and Rev. Argyle each want is for their respective churches to grow.

When two kids see an apparition they believe is the Virgin Mary, and shortly after that Marie gives Share the Harvest an eggplant that seems to bear the likeness of Mary on it, causing a huge uproar in her small town. Adam, Reverend Argyle, Van, and others see in her a way to pursue their own agendas. They are joined by many who truly believe—but Marie wants to be left alone to give birth to what she keeps telling them is just a normal baby.

Only Pastor Hemmings has no selfish agenda. He helps Marie to make a getaway, complete with a new identity. But can she really escape the public
eye permanently?
