Anthropologist Calliope Santiago awakens to find herself in a strange and sinister wasteland, a shadow of the New Mexico she knew. Empty vehicles litter the road. Everyone has disappeared--or almost everyone. Calliope, heavy-bellied with the twins she carries inside her, must make her way across this dangerous landscape with a group of fellow survivors, confronting violent inhabitants, in search of answers. Long-dead volcanoes erupt, the ground rattles and splits, and monsters come to ominous life. The impossible suddenly real, Calliope will be forced to reconcile the geological record with the heritage she once denied if she wants to survive and deliver her unborn babies into this uncertain new world.

Rooted in indigenous oral-history traditions and contemporary apocalypse fiction, Trinity Sight asks readers to consider science versus faith and personal identity versus ancestral connection. Lyrically written and utterly original, Trinity Sight brings readers to the precipice of the end-of-times and the hope for redemption.]]> 288 Jennifer Givhan 1538556723 Thibault 5 3.74 2019

review:
This book was very moving to me. The relationship between the main characters, in spite of the wild and unpredictable environment they face, shows a deep understanding of how humans express affection for one another in these conditions. Many elements brought to mind my own relationship to my own mother and family, including my spiritual ancestry, in a way that is very relevant and powerful to today's society. I think we all could more frequently remember how powerful our love is as a force in the universe, and this book made me feel motivated to do good in this spirit. Lastly, the inclusion of the natural environment as a powerful character in the narrative was a fascinating literary element that added a lot to the story as a whole.
