YA
Ordinary NYC high-schooler Iris discovers that she is the product of immaculate conception and thus regarded as a messiah who can perform miracles. To escape desperate mobs and media frenzy, she goes on the run, inadvertently involving new love interest Zane and his little sister in her troubles. This sequel to Immaculate explores issues of faith, responsibility, forgiveness, and the power of hope--sometimes thoughtfully, often more superficially.
