Synopsis: A young woman named Honour hangs out behind the local big-box store and does nothing with her two best friends, Fib and Tryla -- until one day Fib decides to play a joke on the local military recruiter and fake-enlist. This flippant act draws their small group into a whirlwind of intimate betrayals, but Honour has more than that on her mind -- she's been having visions of Joan of Arc since she was twelve, and now Joan's urging Honour into battle. Meanwhile, a chorus of Cardinals is putting Joan on trial for heresy. (And because they're in St. Louis, they also play baseball.) What is honor? And how do you fight for it? | ||||
