Synopsis
From the author of Snow Falling on Cedars, the story of a teenage girl who sees a vision of the Virgin Mary. Ann Holmes seems an unlikely candidate for revelation. A sixteen-year-old runaway, she is an itinerant mushroom picker who lives in a tent. Then one November afternoon, in the foggy woods of North Fork, Washington, the Virgin comes to her, clear as day.It is up to the new priest, Father Collins, to evaluate the validity of Ann's sightings. Carolyn Greer, a fellow mushroomer, becomes Ann's disciple of sorts as word spreads, and thousands converge upon the already troubled town. Tom Cross, an out-of-work logger, finds that Ann's visions offer a last chance of hope for him and his son.
Our Lady of the Forest combines suspense, grit and humour in a story of faith at a contemporary crossroad.
