THE BOOK develops the love stories of three unusual women, Christine; Mary, who has grown to womanhood hating all men, and who is known to the police; and Philomena, a country girl Brian Flood, a newspaperman, tells the story. The miracle does not come off as requested. It can’t because our “generation of vipers” won't open its heart for any miracle of God.

In another wonderful letter, Kepler said: “Man’s soul is kept alive, enriched, and grows by that food called knowledge. The man who does not long for these things is therefore more of a corpse than a living being.”
