Publisher's Synopsis
Steeped in wonder and the glory of existence, God's Children is a tender tale of what happens when God leaves the universe and His angels struggle to safeguard Heaven. Illuminated by 21st-century ideas and perspective, the story offers an evolution of morality and an evolution of God. God's gone and Heaven's in peril. Without God's grace, disturbing, sometimes uncontrollable emotions plague the angels. Heaven's leader, Uriel, is consumed by guilt and punishes angels. The archangel Michael must contend with this violent, perhaps-mad leader, but he's suffering from the lack of grace, too. Michael's filled with desire for Mary Magdalen, at the same time as he's stricken with terror of Lucifer. Soon the mighty seraph will discover that God's gone, and Heaven's vulnerable to attack. Michael's no match for him--only God can best Lucifer. But nothing is as it seems. Lucifer harbors a secret, a secret that Michael doesn't know, but that would change everything . . .
