Summary:
  Jennifer is an eighteen year old senior who is decidedly atheist and detests the idea of marriage or ever having children, while her childhood friend Jason’s brand of Christian, Catholic morality simply infuriates her.  Her sights are set upon becoming a famous novelist, and has no time or desire for romance.  She began having nightmares three months ago and doesn’t know her life is about to become more exciting and at times dangerous than even she could imagine.  Jason carries a secret that would further estrange them, if she knew.  He battles to protect her from evil and strives to help her reach her goals in life.  Unknowingly to Jennifer, everyone she loves will be affected by her strange choices within the next few months.

 

 

DEDICATION

 

 

This novel is dedicated to all those who seek that

Something Unknown which their soul craves. 

May you find it and gain peace, love and joy unimaginable.

 

To my greatest fan and the love of my life: my Beloved Dan.

To my other hearts: Angie, Michelle, Christina,

Glenn, Sr. and my best friend Barbara –

hugs, love and thanks to each for saying “Do it!”

 

Special mention goes to

Father Jose Kulathinal, CMI, 

as well as to Deacon Vincent. 

Two of the finest men in God’s service to be sure.
