Summary:

"Stella works miracles. She heals the sick, the dying, the paralyzed. The Vatican rejoices--at last, a living saint for the modern age. And in Georgia, of all places: a miracle in the sweltering heart of the American South. But there's a catch. Stella heals the people she sleeps with. In her motorhome. For money.A saint who sells sex doesn't play well in Rome. A saint who dies young, however--pure, tragic, and easily mythologized--that's a different story. Enter the Bronski twins: the Vatican's most discreet executioners, sent to clean up the miracle. Darkly comic and unsettlingly tender, Holy F*ck is a blistering satire of faith, desire, and the machinery of salvation."--Publisher's website.
