(3) YA In their working-class Massachusetts town, Callie da Costa's older sister Tess is widely seen as prophetic--and when miracles occur in the wake of Tess's sudden death, her path to sainthood seems assured. Callie, who's always been unfavorably compared with Tess, is sure the truth is more complicated. Somewhat uneven pacing doesn't detract from this strong debut's unusual premise and powerful sense of place.
