More intrigue develops when flowers with amazing healing and rejuvenating powers surface in the garden at the school where Conci D'Amato McVey teaches. The chase is on as word gets out about these plants purported to be from the Garden of Eden. Maryann will not be the only casualty in this quest for immortality and power. Follow Mike, Conci, and her aunt, Sister Mary Concetta Rose on this harrowing journey of history and spirituality in the Mystery of the Adam and Eve Chronicles.
