Alexis and her sister, Addie, join an international tour group for travel to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Bali, looking forward to an exotic vacation and the chance to learn about several new cultures. Related to her job as a journalist in Bangkok, Addie must interrupt their trip to take an unexpected assignment to cover a miraculous appearance of the Virgin Mary in northern Thailand. Before she can reunite with her travel companions, Addie witnesses a second appearance in another location. News coverage of the two events is extremely limited, but Addie’s eyewitness account reveals a fascinating detail to the group—the manifestation of the Virgin Mary was a real, three-dimensional person. Both Addie and Alexis are skeptical of the phenomena, but subsequent changes in their lives suggest that there may be more to the appearances than they imagined. The sisters extend their journeys to India, Nepal, and Dubai, where a higher power involves them in a remarkable adventure with the promise of transforming the world.
