Here’s the set-up:
Tara Spencer’s mysterious pregnancy causes her family and fiancé to turn against her and sidetracks her plans for medical school. Only a stranger, Cyril Woods, believes her claim that she’s still a virgin. The religious order that Cyril belongs to thinks Tara’s child may be a new messiah. But when prenatal testing raises troubling questions, the order becomes Tara’s enemy, convinced she will trigger the first stage of the Apocalypse. Tara fights for her life, seeking a safe place to give birth, and the answer to whether she and her child are meant to save the world or destroy it.
Reviews:
“…The Awakening speeds along in exactly the way a taut thriller should, i.e. at a breakneck pace….an intelligent work that entertains while making the reader think…” – Nicholas Strange, Strange Amusements
“…this light read is also a brainy one, asking readers to reconsider fundamental societal truths….Sharp and satisfying.” – Kirkus Reviews
