About the Book Geanna Hanson shuns social norms to live in a whirlwind of delusional commitment to the wholeness of life. She is driven to luxuriate in passion, and to experience men as she would different flavours of ice-cream.

Alma, her childhood friend, enters a convent to dedicate her life to sanctity. In Gaza, she seeks spiritual redemption in the service of the women and children ravaged by war.
