About the book: 1999 / Mariah, having caught her husband with another woman, becomes depressed, and their seven-year-old daughter Vera withdraws into herself and seeks consolation from a friend whom, maybe she made it up, maybe she didn’t. Inexplicable things are happening more and more often: Vera will either quote a verse from the Gospel, although there is not even a Bible in the house, or she will mention an old episode in the life of her mother, which she never told anyone about. Rumors begin to circulate around the town and beyond about a girl who sees God in female form and heals the sick. A crowd of reporters, religious fanatics and those wishing to be healed gathers at the house of Mariah and Vera. The clergy are showing a persistent desire to understand the situation. What to believe? Is Vera the messiah or just a little girl? Is Mariah a good mother trying to overcome adversity, or a charlatan using her daughter to get the spotlight back on herself? As the battle for custody of Vera unfolds, Mariah must understand that strength of spirit does not have to be found in religion, it can be found within yourself... For the first time in Russian!
