Audible Editor Reviews

"[An] engaging debut.... A heartrending portrait of the challenges of
accepting and rejecting both faith and family and realizing that decisions
aren't always so straightforward." (Library Journal)


Publisher's Summary

Set in Arco, Idaho, in 1970, Val Brelinski's powerfully affecting first
novel tells the story of three sisters: young Frances, gregarious and
strong-willed Jory, and moral-minded Grace. Their father, Oren, is a
respected member of the community and science professor at the local
college. Yet their mother's depression and Grace's religious fervor
threaten the seemingly perfect family, whose world is upended when Grace
returns from a missionary trip to Mexico and discovers she's pregnant
with - she believes - the child of God.

Distraught, Oren sends Jory and Grace to an isolated home at the edge
of the town. There, they prepare for the much-awaited arrival of the
baby while building a makeshift family that includes an elderly eccentric
neighbor and a tattooed social outcast who drives an ice cream truck.

The Girl Who Slept with God is a literary achievement about a family's
desperate need for truth, love, purity, and redemption.




What the Critics Say

"The Girl Who Slept with God.... Treats its characters as people...allowing
each of them to be fascinating, full-hearted, noble, confused...right,
and wrong by turns, in a way that feels like life." (Chad Harbach, author
of The Art of Fielding)
