Francesca Kay's award-winning debut, An Equal Stillness, drew rave reviews and established her as an author on the rise. In her second novel, Kay crafts a profound tale about the nature of faith and motherhood. Mary-Margaret O'Reilly is cleaning the statue of Jesus at Sacred Heart church when she blacks out and wakes with a bloody gash on her head. Rumors that the blood came from the statue's eyes start a religious mania in town and lead Mary-Margaret to a decision that will change everything.
