Summary: a BIG story
Review: MARY OF BELLINGHAM is a delightful & thought-provoking read about virginity & immaculate conception, cloning & DNA manipulation, faith & morality, UFOs & alien invasions, religious sleights of hand & spiritual innocence, mental illness & emotional healing, being a child & growing up.

One of the best stories about the miracle of birth, our expectations about salvation, our fears about failure, our search for relevance, & our enduring love of a mystery.

Rebeccasreads highly recommends MARY OF BELLINGHAM as a must read for anyone expecting a child -- woman or man -- teenager or adult -- OB/GYN or nurse. It is pregnant with passion, comedy, fear & redemption. Anneke Campbell's people are real & recognizable -- warts, love of life, greed, infidelity, yearnings, religious fervor, questionings, hope & all.

Could not put it down!

Summary: An exceptionally well written and original work
Review: Mary Of Bellingham is an imaginatively crafted novel by Anneke Campbell premising a modern-day miracle of virgin birth. When a pregnant teenager, alone and in need of help, wanders into an ordinary town, she sparks heated controversy, by claiming that she is channeling the Virgin Mary. Through kindness, a local waitress takes the girl into her own home, while controversy and speculation sets the community into something of an uproar. An exceptionally well written and original work of very highly recommended fiction, Mary Of Bellingham also provides readers with a quite thoughtful commentary upon the nature of the miracle of birth and a compelling testimony with respect to the desperate human desire to be part of something sublime and far beyond the ordinary.
