Ruth Langford is sure of three things. First, that angels and demons walk the streets of Earth, masquerading themselves as humans and calling themselves Celestials. Second, that the last five years of her life were a blissful dream her mind made up while locked in a coma. And third, that everything else she thought she knew was a lie.
As the financial crash of the 1930s looms over her beloved San Francisco city, a rich husband and the birth of a promising career as a ballet dancer should be all she needs. But Ruth can't shake the feeling that something is not quite right with the world around her. Her search for answers reveals truths she'd rather not know. It's only a matter of time before she must confront the darkness of the world around her--and within herself.
