Can the world really do away with religion? Can humanity live without God? Is there humanity without God? These questions and more are explored in this bold and provocative narrative surrounding Anna and her father who are trying to survive in a globalized world that seeks harmony with nature over harmony with God.

Anna finds herself born into a desperate world seeking sustainable developments and forging a new identity in the process, but bargains humanity wholesale for something more egalitarian, something more unorthodox. On a remote Grecian Peninsula, her father raised her according to his Old-World beliefs, but their society stifled such belief with the threat of the deadlands. Anna is about to be recognized at a coming of age ceremony where her society's tenets are most poignant and now must contend a dangerous ultimatum: old world or new? Father God or Mother Earth? A novel that explores the whole nature of humanity through the struggles of an artist, and her uneasy wrestle for identity. A modern anxiety haunts each page with timeless motifs of philosophy, theology, and ideology. It is sure to be a new ripple in the pond of speculative fiction.
