She's ambitious and smart, and she's already talked her way into a part-time job at one of Melbourne's top newspapers while she's finishing her journalism degree. Even so, she's stunned when Des, her editor, offers her a feature article. At Apollo Bay a fifteen-year-old girl called Julie Sheehan says that Our Lady has appeared to her in a vision. Mickey knows Apollo Bay well. It was there, three years ago, that she discovered she was pregnant and made the decision to have an abortion. Mickey has never dealt with the trauma of it, never allowed herself to grieve. And she has never been back to Apollo Bay. By accepting the assignment, she accepts a painful journey into her past. In Apollo Bay, Mickey forms strong and often difficult relationships as she tries to untangle truth from lies. Julie Sheehan is a strange, eerily powerful girl who seems able to read Mickey's thoughts. Father Brendan, the wise, gentle priest, has his own challenges to face. Ned, Julie's boyfriend, somehow seems to hold the key to it all. Through her conversations with Father Brendan, Mickey finds the courage to confront her own past and begin her journey of healing. Julie promises that Our Lady will appear again and perform a miracle. As the world's media descends on Apollo Bay, Mickey knows she must confront Julie and make her tell the truth...
