Plus, her staunchly feminist views and love of punk rock aren’t exactly mainstream at St. Ann’s, her conservative Catholic high school. Then a malicious rumor starts spreading through the halls...a rumor that her popular, pretty pro-life sister had an abortion over the summer...a rumor that has the power to not only hurt Helen but possibly see her expelled.

Set between Moscow, Russia and St Andrews, Scotland, it tackles the metaphysics of golf, the mindset of the classic Russian novels and the power of art and music to rewrite reality, as Aneliya comes into contact with an angelic presence named Xstabeth who simultaneously fulfils and disappears both her father and her lover.
