That was before it happened.
Now Alice can suddenly speak and hear. Now she has it in her power to work miracles.
And as soon as it becomes clear what Alice can do, the town--and then the entire world--begins worshiping her.

For little Alice not only has the power to cure, she now has the centuries-old, blackest power of vile, unholy death...

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0330376225, Paperback)

Alice, a deaf-mute, has a vision of a lady in white who says she is the immaculate conception. Suddenly Alice can speak, hear, and perform miracles. The visitation site becomes a shrine. But Alice is no longer the guileless child overwhelmed by her new saintliness. She has become the agent of something corrupt, a vile force centuries old.
