While scrounging for materials at the local scrapyard, the Prophet sees a car pull up to an abandoned gas station. In the back seat is a teenage girl with zip ties on her wrists, a girl he realizes he must rescue from her current life. Her name is Michael, and the Prophet feels certain that she is a messenger sent by God to take his end-time warnings to the White House. Michael finds herself in the Prophet's remote, art-filled cabin, and as their uncertain dynamic evolves into tender friendship, she is offered a surprising opportunity to escape her past--and perhaps change her future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving through the worlds of the Prophet, the girl, and a beguiling devil figure who dances in the corner of their lives, \u003ci\u003eTwo-Step Devil\u003c\/i\u003e is a propulsive, philosophical examination of fate and faith that dares to ask what salvation, if any, can be found in our modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Two-Step Devil | Jamie Quatro | Hardcover | 9780802163134 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1773888","offer_id":50754319843586,"sku":"1773888","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81jXg0BOBwL.jpg?v=1792016172","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/two-step-devil","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
