Virgin Sacrifice

Social worker Taylor Diaz has a problem. At a Catholic convent on the Gulf Coast a young resident named Mary is pregnant and may be able to have an abortion under Florida law as the victim of a sex crime.

Mother Superior is insisting it's a miracle - and that the girl is still a virgin. Publicity from Taylor's court case creates a media hurricane.

Using it to jockey for the GOP Presidential candidacy, the Governor has friends in high places, a billionaire Catholic power broker and the local Bishop.

This Catholic triumvirate is hell bent on stopping the abortion and Taylor becomes embroiled in a battle with them as well as her own Catholic Cuban American family. From stage left, an Antipodean media baron and his right-wing commentators on HEN news, start milking it as another Culture War issue, along with an Evangelical mega-Church pastor who wants to claim the 'divine' baby as the Second Coming of Jesus. And, oh yeah like the original Virgin Mary, this Mary is only 12 years old!

In a post-Roe world, where the gains of decades of progressive feminism have been thrown under the wheels of political machinery, a brave woman fights back.

Is Mary's baby a heavenly gift or the product of a criminal abuse?

Taylor and her allies race against time, the church and the media to find out the truth before Mary becomes the ultimate pawn sacrifice.

The stage is set! The Virgin Sacrifice is a scathing look at the mired, endless cycle of Culture Wars in the Divided States of America and a reminder that the poisonous Gordian knot of religion, money and politics in America are forever entwined.
