Ripples

When Evan was born Janet and Henry Noonan felt like something wasn't quite right. They carefully checked his fingers and counted his toes, all there. Everything looked fine, yet something felt a bit odd, even uncanny. How, what, when and why were constantly on the childs's lips. By the time Evan turned four he had become opinionated about things and loved expressing his thoughts to anyone who'd listen. He'd have conversations with dogs, cats, birds, and even ladybugs. They seemed to speak back, for he would talk, quietly listen, and then laugh or comment again. Could Janet and Henry ever understand the reason their son had such charisma? Would Nurse Anita Scofield come foward with the truth about the child's birth? How would the world, namely kindergarten, handle the presence of a Saint Francis want-to-be? Who is The Presence and why is he watching from afar? Will one innocent child and his simple acts of compassion save the human race from extinction?
