Ariel Jardell, an adopted twelve-year-old girl is possessed--her mother thinks--by jealousy and by forces far more bizarre. As the reader will discover, Ariel is driven to malevolence and beyond. An unnerving tale woven together with a fascinating, terrifying child at the center of each twist and turn it takes. Ariel gives new definition to the age-old conflicts of good verses evil, sane versus insane. You'll remember Ariel as much as you remember Stephen King's Carrie.
