This novel delves into the selfishness of humanity and feelings of loss, with a smattering of supernatural elements.

Satan has long been known as the Adversary, but God fears women even more than He fears the devil -- and he is right to. She, with her power to bring life into the world, was truly made in the image of the Creator, not man, and in all ways has proved Herself a more deserving object of man's worship than Christ, that unshaven fanatic who lusted for the end of the world.
