About this audiobook
His mother's spine should have her bedridden.
Dr. Marco Reyes, a first-year resident at Philippine General Hospital in Manila, is not interested in miracles. He is interested in why his mother feels nothing. He came to the village expecting a faith healer's con. He found something worse.
The houses are given to outsiders for free. Strangers know his name before he gives it. Three hundred and fifty villagers walk up to a cave every night to drink from a pool at the roots of a single pale tree. A man who threatened to burn that tree is found dead on a busy trail in broad daylight, and every villager has an alibi clean enough to be a courtroom exhibit. His sister — who has never lied to him in her life — is suddenly lying. And every time Marco thinks about going back, something in his head feels warm.
The deeper Marco digs, the more he understands that the village does not need to convert him. It already has.
The most dangerous thing on that island was never the people who smiled.
