Loved this story when it first came out - loved it so much I lent out my book and never got it back! Finally a story for Troi that uses her strengths and one that wrestles with ideas of spirituality and embracing the things in oneself that one fears. It's a break from the usual formula - if you're looking for space battles, skip this one - but the character work, both for our crew and for the characters specifically in this novel, is superb ( )
A "Deanna has a real job" book, and one unusually focused on religion. I didn't think it was terribly well written, but I did enjoy the attempt to address religion within the federation as a whole.

This book is lovingly dedicated to the regular Saturday Night Irregulars - or the irregular Saturday Night Regulars - to Donna, Jim, David, Lori, Dan, Del, Scott, Elayn, Liaz, Bob and Clarita. It's always great fun
To David, Dan, Mike and Lenora, who have also read and reread, unselfishly giving me the benefit of their time, intelligence, and expertise.
To my family, who always believed I could write, even when I doubted it,and who taught me to believe in myself.
Above all, to Stephen husband and friend without peer.
