Signed by the author with an inscription. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. A retelling of a creation myth. A rogue order of nuns, tucked away in Humboldt County, are raising an abandoned deity. The Sisterhood, long persecuted by the patriarchs of the Great Church and decimated by a plague of prayer eaters, is on the verge of extinction when a mysterious white monkey appears in a snowstorm. It is a holy night like no other--complete with a wandering star, three disreputable magi, and an infant in a cardboard box.
