A deeply religious 11-year-old girl, Anna O’Donnell is said to have survived for months without food, living only on ‘manna from heaven’. Tourists have flocked to Anna’s cabin and a journalist is reporting the story but is all as it seems?
As Lib and a nun take turns to observe the girl discover whether she is actually eating, and if not how she is able to survive without food, she becomes desperate to get to the truth. But soon she and Anna grow close and it’s left to Lib to get to the bottom of this miracle or stop the destruction of Anna’s life.
