On a Monday morning in April, a middle-aged writer is surprised to find a woman standing in front of the fig tree in her living room. The woman, dressed in a navy blue trench coat, white Nikes, and carrying a small black suitcase, introduces herself as Mary, the Mother of God. She explains that after two thousand years of continuous adoration, petition, and travel, she is in need of some rest and relaxation (R&R). The writer invites her in, and Mary decides to stay for a week. As the story of their visit unfolds and the two women become friends, the novel explores Mary's history, her changing image in culture and art, and the thousands of recorded sightings throughout history. Told with humor and grace, the book is a profound and original meditation on faith, spirituality, and the desire to believe in something larger than ourselves, capturing the miracles of daily life.
