Description: Many citizens of Ambient, Wisconsin believe the old tales of an angel living in the Onion River that runs through the heart of their town. It is this belief that leads a misfit ten-year-old boy to the river's edge one cold winter's night. Little Gabriel Carpenter vanishes that night, presumed drowned. And when the dawn comes, his lifeless body is found by Ruthie Mader in a barn a mile away, his body still warm and smelling like flowers. No one in this quiet Midwestern community can agree whether a miracle or a hoax has occurred. But as the story spreads, and curious tourists over-run the town -- some skeptical, others reverent, still others angling for financial gain -- one fact becomes certain beyond any doubt: life here will never be the same.
