A novel that takes you on a moving, humor-filled ride through a snowy murder mystery, small-town politics, eloquent shrimp, and the nature of prophecy. From New York Times bestselling author Jay Heinrichs, a story with skiing, cocktails, eloquent shrimp, a girl, a gun, the tragedy of omniscience, and the archangel Gabriel.(Well, he says he's the archangel Gabriel.)Fourteen-year-old Joan Mudgett suddenly finds herself alone without her parents in a small New Hampshire village. Only she's not alone enough. People think they see Jesus in the sky over her meadow. As if she doesn't have enough trouble, a raven comes to her campfire and tells her she has been chosen as a prophet to save the world. Is her trauma triggering hallucinations? If so, why do her silly predictions keep coming true?Told in the witty, determined voice of Joan Mudgett herself, The Prophet Joan follows the narrative plot of the biblical Book of Jonah-complete with a reluctant prophet, a warning to humanity, and even a Leviathan. This time, though, the prophet is a girl. Who decides to call herself Jonah.
