"Waking Brigid" is a darkly evocative novel set in haunting Savannah, Georgia. Though the city was physically spared during the war, its citizens did not come through unscathed. Into this dark and battered culture comes young Brigid Rourke, a beautiful Irish nun. Driven by the ravages of the famine, Brigid's family chose to give the girl up to the service of the Church to ensure her survival. But to do that, she had to reject her people's pagan ways. The Church is all she has known and she seeks to do her duty...all the while fighting the lure of her people's legacy. Brigid's resolve is tested when a prominent Savannah citizen is cruelly murdered behind a locked and bolted door in an insane asylum. The dead man's last words chilled the blood of all who heard them and the fact that he was murdered while he was alone in the cell defies all logic. What follows is nothing less than an amazing clash between the forces of good and evil - dedicated white magicians versus entrenched devil worshipers - for the soul of a city.
