Dark Compulsion Brenda Steele

Sixteen years ago, a tragic accident shatters the Martin family, separating eight-year-old twins Faith and Hope, leaving Hope in a coma and Faith to fend for herself in the barren, unforgiving home of their parents. Now twenty-four, Faith is ready to start her own life. Then Hope awakens, frail and childlike, with the ability to heal. When their parents take Hope on a traveling sideshow of revival tent meetings, Faith puts her life on hold to go with them to protect Hope from their fanaticism. Bizarre deaths follow in their wake as Hope's touch infects others with an insidious strain of pure evil. Hope herself seems to be changing. Faith, with her life in danger, turns to Mike Evans, a man with his own dark secrets...the same man Hope is intent on having at any cost. A journey through the deepest recesses of the human soul where those infected act on raw impulse, without conscience or fear of reprisal.
