Summary:
Jennifer is an eighteen year old senior who is decidedly atheist and detests the idea of marriage or ever having children, while her childhood friend Jason’s brand of Christian, Catholic morality simply infuriates her. Her sights are set upon becoming a famous novelist, and has no time or desire for romance. She began having nightmares three months ago and doesn’t know her life is about to become more exciting and at times dangerous than even she could imagine. Jason carries a secret that would further estrange them, if she knew. He battles to protect her from evil and strives to help her reach her goals in life. Unknowingly to Jennifer, everyone she loves will be affected by her strange choices within the next few months.
