After Tonka teaches Espy the secret skill of using the Lines, Espy realizes she can use her newfound power to coax her schoolmates into being her friends, too. But just when everything should be going so well, Espy begins to wonder if Tonka's power might not be the key to friendship she thought it was.

Highly recommended.” ~George Grant, author and pastor in Franklin, Tennessee"Evoking C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, Wilkins’ debut novel portrays cleverly named demonic characters who converse, plot, and war against angels, earthly beings, and even critters who are subject to 'The Name.'" ~Mary Jackson, WORLD Magazine — Remy Wilkins was born on one side of the Mississippi River and lives on the other. He teaches at Geneva Academy in Monroe, Louisiana, and he writes at home where his wife paints and his five boys raise a ruckus.
