But one scientist doesn’t believe what the government is saying. He believes that his wife originally came from the other side, and that’s where she returned to when she went missing ten years ago.

Glenn buries herself in her studies and dreams about the day she can escape. But when her father's work leads to his arrest, he gives Glenn a simple metal bracelet that will send Glenn and Kevin on the run --- with only one place to go.

Anna Jarzab follows her well-regarded debut novel with THE OPPOSITE OF HALLELUJAH, a very different novel that nonetheless continues to showcase Jarzab's interest in psychology and relationships.
"Anna Jarzab's second novel, THE OPPOSITE OF HALLELUJAH, offers a far more nuanced portrayal of religious people, acknowledging the challenges they face but also recognizing how belief can shape a life."

For Anna Greene, a 16 year old living in Evanston, Illinois in 1995, the time between her and Bennett Cooper, a 17 year old in San Francisco, California in 2012 would, under normal circumstances, be seventeen years. Yet because Bennett has the ability to travel through time and space, the two end up meeting in her present, changing the perception of age difference. Read More
