The children of U.S. small-town Alexandria are just trying to live like
normal teens until their parents' promised return from a mysterious,
four-year religious pilgrimage, and Ben Schiller is no exception. She's
just trying to take care of her sister, keep faith that her parents will
come back, and get through her teen years as painlessly as possible. But
her relationship with her best friend is changing, her younger sister is
hiding a dark secret, and a terrible tragedy is coming for them all.
Filled with teenage loves and fights and parties, Sacred Heart is a
wonderful coming-of-age graphic novel set against the threat of a big
reckoning that everyone fears is coming but has no proof.
