"water on the brain".
"Who Are These Children?" invites the reader into the very souls of these young, first-time parents. The reader battles with Gena and Michael as life's twisted fate forces them to make the heaviest decision of their lives.

Their love fights against their fear and their despair against their faith. Betting on the side of hope, they continue on, but only to face a host of other complications and difficulties. In the midst of this unbearable turmoil, the characters are swept away into a dream, taking them back before the world was created to the Great War in heaven between the forces of good and evil. Gregory and a select few, known as the NOBLE ONES, are chosen to execute the final expulsion of Satan and his followers out of heaven.
