The Stars and Their Light
April 1, 2025
The next Olivia Hawker novel tackles a very strange moment in American history... the 1947 Roswell Incident, when a "flying saucer" was alleged to have crashed in the desert near Corona, New Mexico.
​
The mysterious occurrence sets off a chain of startling events in the community of Roswell, and in the lives of an unforgettable cast of characters—including Sister Mary Agnes, a nun who has come to Roswell to help found a new convent, and Betty Campbell, a teenage girl whose exposure to the flying saucer afflicts her with the stigmata, the bleeding wounds of Christ.
​
As Roswell struggles to make sense of these inexplicable events, Betty, Mary Agnes, and everyone they love must learn to make peace with the mysteries of the divine.
​
The Stars and Their Light will soon be available for pre-order. Watch this space! (And watch for the cover art, too!)
