A small town is abuzz with rumors of a miracle in this captivating young adult novel that will leave you pondering the power of belief.

“A bewitching and thought-provoking story about the strength and faith required to face a contemporary miracle. This one begs for a sequel.”—Deb Caletti, National Book Award finalist

“A vividly-imagined story about magic, faith, and family.”—Rachel DeWoskin, author of Blind and Big Girl Small

Mina is seventeen. A virgin. And pregnant.

Mina is top of her class, girlfriend to the most ambitious guy in school, able to reason and study her way through anything. But when she finds herself pregnant—despite having never had sex—her orderly world collapses. Almost nobody believes Mina’s claims of virginity. Her father assumes that her boyfriend is responsible; her boyfriend thinks she must have cheated on him. As news of Mina’s story spreads, there are those who brand her a liar. There are those who brand her a heretic. And there are those who believe that miracles are possible—and that Mina’s unborn child could be the greatest miracle of all.

Praise for Immaculate

Praise for Immaculate:

"Immaculate is a bewitching and thought-provoking story about the strength and faith required to face a contemporary miracle. This one begs for a sequel."--National Book Award Finalist Deb Caletti

"Katelyn Detweiler's Immaculate is a vividly-imagined story about magic, faith, and family. Her heroine's wildly unlikely teenage pregnancy leads to more than just a brutal break-up and national scandal; it allows for an exploration of essential questions about sex, identity, and what belief means to human beings. In a lovely and uplifting twist, Immaculate gives us girls who believe in themselves and each other, girls who move forward--in spite of extremely difficult circumstances--to create joy, love, and new life."--Rachel DeWoskin, author of Blind and Big Girl Small
