Summary
Harrow Nova was fourteen years old when she realized what the adopted Reverend Daughter was doing. Harrow normally dogged the older girl like a shadow, like a wraith, and she was embarrassed that she had been led astray for this long. She had been lulled into a false security, assuming – what a moron she was to assume – that Gideon Nonagesimus slept through the night in her cell.
Gideon was not intelligent, not cunning, certainly not worthy of the title of Reverend Daughter, and still she had gotten the best of Harrow. In the nights – it must have taken many nights to do this horrible deed – Gideon had been absconding from her bed and sneaking down to the most sacred space in the House of the Ninth, the most holy location in the Dominicus System, the most venerated land under the watchful gaze of God: the Locked Tomb.
But Gideon had been sloppy.

Summary
"You believe, when you see the world, that you’re getting information. But what a human does is take in information and then tell itself a story. A shepherd stands in a field at night and looks at the night sky. He sees a falling star streak across the horizon and then disappear. But he doesn’t know what a shooting star is, so he tells himself a story about gods falling from the sky. You’re amazing storytellers, especially the stories you tell yourselves. But it’s not truth. It’s all a fiction on some level."
When Ava and Caspar are forced to walk a mile in each others' shoes, the resilience of the stories they tell themselves is tested. But with Caspar struggling to keep up with Ava's brain, and Ava pushing Caspar's to the limit, will they be able to fix it before the damage is permanent? What is it that separates the brain from the mind? And can the others stop laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of it all for long enough to be of any help?

Summary
It was a quiet night in Pasadena, California.
Already, summer had long outstayed its welcome, and the hot, dry air lay tired and overdrawn across the city. Palm trees rustled minutely in the stillness, as if thinking wistfully of a breeze, and at the end of the street, the vacant lot resigned itself to another long month of stagnation.
But just as the thin summer night shrugged into a thin summer morning, something remarkable occurred.
Suddenly, there was a diner.
The diner lands in Pasadena. Caspar feels normal about this, as does the city of Pasadena.

Summary
The reopening of the Lady of Perpetual Grace marked a new chapter.
Well, it did, and it didn’t. Jud doesn’t like to think of service as something with a clear ending and beginning. Life moves in cycles, endless and natural, spring to summer, dusk to dawn—and people with it, because they aren’t people when they don’t try, and fail, and try again.
Only the fallible man can be redeemed. He would know.
*
what if, after reopening the lady of perpetual grace, jud employs a new groundskeeper and things happen and they do and they do and they do? walk with me.
