This thought-provoking YA novel is part thriller, part mystery, and part investigation of the human soul. Aslaug is an unusual young woman. Her mother has brought her up in near isolation, teaching her about plants and nature and language--but not about life. Especially not how she came to have her own life, and who her father might be. When Aslaug's mother dies unexpectedly, everything changes. For Aslaug is a suspect in her mother's death. And the more her story unravels, the more questions unfold. About the nature of Aslaug's birth. About what she should do next ... About whether divine miracles have truly happened. And whether, when all other explanations are impossible, they might still happen this very day.
