Jessica Noland is the nexus of this story, but she is not the most
important character. Without her; no event in this story will happen.
Brenda Walden is a young woman who was destined to be just a pretty
girl. She was popular with a natural beauty that did not need a lot of
external work to bring out. Her prospects for the future pointed to an
average life with little promise beyond her home town. All that changed
on a church retreat. Jacob Crater is a young man from the other side of
the tracks who was never popular. He has special mental and physical
abilities which he learned from bitter experience to conceal. His
abilities are coveted by people who have no ethics or morality. He was
abused and tortured by a science that could never explain what happened
to him. One church retreat will expand his abilities and change his
destiny. A kidnapping will change a lot in all three of them. Their
lives and destinies will change because of extra-ordinary circumstances.
Jacob Crater will stand up to the world. Brenda Walden will stand up to
an extraordinary situation. All this is because Jessica is the nexus.
She will remain the pivotal character in this tale.
