In a small Vermont town in the 1960s, seventeen-year-old Mary Ann McFarland becomes pregnant despite remaining a virgin.

The story weaves personal drama with questions such as virginity, miracle and social judgment, in an absorbing narrative about human nature and the transgression of established norms.

Intended for readers of romantic novels and dramas set in the 1960s, with an interest in stories of faith and moral conflicts.
