Publisher's Summary
All Frances wants is a cure for her daughter, but that would take a miracle, and miracles aren't something Frances believes in anymore.
Newly divorced from her pastor ex-husband and excommunicated from the church community she once worked within, she wrestles alone with the prognosis of her terminally ill child. Any suggestion of ‘divine intervention' is salt in the wound of her grief. So when Frances is forced to take in a homeless and pregnant teenage girl who claims to have had an immaculate conception, she's deeply challenged.
But sixteen-year-old Mary is not who she seems, and soon opens the door to perspectives that profoundly shift Frances's sense of reality, triggering a chain of astonishing events. It seems that where there is the greatest suffering lies an unexpected magic. Frances begins to hold hope for her family's future, but the miracle prayed for is not always the one received.
Immaculate is a provocative and tender exploration of loss, identity and healing, and the secret worlds we hide within in order to survive.

 A beautiful and creative story about dealing with the loss of a child
There’s something about this book that reminds me of boys swallows universe in all the best ways. Annas narration is world-class and really brings the characters to life in a way that makes you lean in. A pretty spectacular debut

Refreshingly different
A beautiful story of the joys, struggles, and heartaches of life. Told in a refreshingly different way with a very satisfying ending. I plan to listen to this one again because there's too much in it to digest in just one read-through.

Beautiful, Wild, Cathartic & I loved the ride
Anna! Thank you for bringing Immaculate in to existence! I loved reading along to Immaculate while listening to it on Audible. It was the best of both worlds to be able to hear you tell this story and to see your words unfolding as I read. It was a cathartic read for me. I found it difficult to define where my sad tears ended and my happy tears began or was it my angry tears beginning and my tears of relief ending. Needless to say I just really loved the ride Immaculate took me on. It is a brilliant novel!

Brilliant
What a story teller! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Wonderful characters and beautifully read by the author Anna McGahan. It felt at times like listening to a one-woman play. Can’t wait to see what she writes next. Highly recommended.
