Sheila Myhra is an animal loving veterinary assistant with a special touch;
she has the amazing ability to cure animals with just her hands.
But as the movies are so insistent to state:
with great power comes great responsibility.
And after Sheila inadvertently heals a hit-and-run victim
she is suddenly very aware of her responsibility.

Sheila is trying her best to understand her power
and at the same time keep it hidden from prying eyes.
But now she has the victim following her around
and after everyone at her vet clinic is brutally murdered
a very determined detective is watching her every move.

Sheilas quest to discover the truth about herself leads her
from the ancient shores of the Mediterranean to the State Capital of Texas
to the Gulf Coast. While dodging a hit man, a detective, and a fanatical minister,
Sheila must struggle with who she is, who she was, and who she has the potential to become.

As Sheila uncovers the truth about herself,
a deeper, bigger truth about the origins of Christianity looms in the distance.
What she discovers has the potential to destroy faith itself.
Will Sheila sacrifice herself to hide the truth, or will the greatest lie in history set her free?
