Tess da Costa is a saint - a hand to god, miracle-producing saint. At least that's what the people in her hometown of New Avon seem to believe. And when Tess suddenly passes away, her small community is eager to get the Pope's stamp of approval to make it official. But Tess's sister, Callie, knows the real Tess, and can't stand to see the memory of her sister tainted by religious hocus-pocus.The fervor around Tess's canonisation only grows when Ana Langone, a local girl who's been missing for six months, is found alive at the foot of one of Tess's shrines. With the help of Tess's secret ex-boyfriend Danny, Callie's determined to prove that Tess was something far more important than a saint; she was her sister, and her best friend. But Callie's efforts uncover much more than she bargained for - a hidden diary, old family secrets, and maybe even the truth behind Ana's kidnapping. Told through alternating perspectives, A Psalm for Lost Girls is at once soulful, a little creepy and definitely funny - an impressive debut from a new star in the making.
