Story Behind The Book
I wanted to have some fun, taking an alien missionary and dropping her in the middle of a rural community, while she tries to answer questions about her own faith, as she challenges the humans she comes into contact with.
I also wanted to play the game of "what if" there actually were alien races out there? How would God work in their lives, and what would happen if one of them came here?
