January 1987, small plains, kansas.
On the night of the decade*s worst blizzard, a boy discovers the naked corpse of a beautiful girl. No-one can identify her, so the people of the town bury her with a gravestone marked with the date and *peace be unto you*. Seventeen years later, the mysterious dead girl - the *virgin of small plains* - has inspired a local myth. In the two decades since her death, strange miracles have visited those who faithfully tend her grave; some believe her spirit can cure deadly illnesses, while others credit her with the town*s economic prosperity. Word of the legend spreads and small plains becomes a haven for an onslaught of spiritual seekers and the terminally ill, all hoping the virgin will answer their prayers. When the mysterious mitch newquist reappears and a vengeful tornado devastates small plains, the truth begins to emerge.. What really happened seventeen years ago? Why did mitch suddenly disappear the same night the virgin*s body was found - abandoning his first love, abby reynolds? And why are some of the town*s leading citizens so determined that the truth remain buried?
