A Note From the Publisher
This unique, experimental novel examines what it means to be human through the experiences of a fascinating, original heroine. It also shines a light on Mormonism, a subject which is of interest to both Mormons and readers less familiar with the denomination, exploring philosophy, science and religion.

Advance Praise
Beautifully bizarre! I could not have taken this dizzying journey except for a master hand leading me through the surprising giggles into the even more surprising blessings of grace, wisdom and healing. I really don’t think Gilda is fiction, for I fell in love with her, and as she and I both know, love is stunningly real.
