Prey for a Miracle

"Sister Agatha is an extern nun in the cloistered order at the Our Lady of Hope Monastery, located near a small New Mexican desert town. As an extern, Sister Agatha is the link between her cloistered sisters and the outside world. Usually this means running errands in the monastery's slowly dying car (dubbed the Anti-Chrysler) or on their motorcycle with Pax, the order's German shepherd, in the side car. Sometimes her duties involve something more - like when a local girl goes missing in the middle of the night and her mother's car is run off the road, leaving her mother injured and unconscious in the car's front seat." "Natalie Tannen is the eight-year-old niece of Father Mahoney and a controversial figure in the local community. She's claimed to have a guardian angel that only she can see, one who tells her things, and some of the locals have been connecting her with supposed miracles. Some people have wanted her to use her "powers" for miraculous cures or to reveal future events. However, it appears that someone has something far more sinister in mind. Now it's up to Sister Agatha not only to find and protect the missing girl, but in order to keep her safe, she must uncover the truth behind the gift and her "guardian angel" before it is too late."--BOOK JACKET.
