Ellie

<p>For a parent and a community there is no greater loss than the death of a child. This was the nightmare that Ellie Lane's parents endured seven years ago in the enchanted land of the Cherokees deep in the Smoky Mountains.</p> <p>Then the miracle occurred. Seven years after her death Ellie returns.</p> <p>Her still-grieving parents confront fear superstition and suspicion as Ellie begins her new life the second life she has somehow been given. In a world where people are divided by the contradictions of skepticism and fanaticism science and religion wage war to claim the answers. Cults are born to worship the young girl as a deity. Legends and apocalyptic visions come to life. Celestial signs portend that something beyond comprehension is coming. A rough beast to end all days? Ancient astronauts in chariots of fire? Winged seraphs strumming harps of gold?</p> <p>Does Ellie's return mean a new beginning for mankind - or its end?</p>
