Sometimes we become so absolutely possessed by the past that only divine intervention can free us. Library Angel tells the story of two college students haunted by oppressive memories of tyrannical mothers; Julia, blessed with a great mind, responds by becoming a reclusive overachiever; Jimmy, challenged with fetal alcohol syndrome, becomes a serial killer. When fate links them through a shared fixation for a library book that harbors damning evidence, Julia embarks on a perilous, unconscious quest for freedom from her past, and Jimmy goes hunting--for Julia.
