The power of the imagination is fully realized in the debut novel by Eric Durchholz. We are introduced to Anna, part human, part spirit whose dalliances with an alien race have made her very powerful. In spite of her strength, she is forced to occupy a section of time and space that intersects a house inhabited by young Gregory Coleman and his family. She befriends the young boy, masquerading as his imaginary playmate, all the while devising her plan of retribution. She is aided in her task by Joseph, a hermit with mysterious ties to the small town of New Harmony, Indiana, and Sylvie, a 200-year-old poltergeist with aspirations of godhood. As Gregory matures, he is drawn further into the web Anna has created to shield him from the truth of her existence. For Anna is not what she seems, nor is she the benign playmate Gregory always thought her to be. In your hands is the compelling and controversial story of Gregory's journey from boyhood to adolescence, from death to life, and from distress toredemption. Within these pages, the orphaned find a home and fulfillment of the greatest promise ever made: that of Eden.
