In the year 1931, seventeen-year-old Dorothy Blake is living in Plains, New York. The Fleming Orphanage has long fallen into disuse but is kept by the town as a landmark.

Their descent is only the beginning…

MADE IN HEAVEN: A BIRTHRITE SERIES SHORT
Currently Available!
​
It has only been two and a half months since Reginald and Gail returned from that fateful night, a strange set of circumstances, and a world neither ever thought could exist.
Plains also seems different. Darker. While the Fleming Orphanage is quiet, evil still seems to be lying in wait. Reginald is also worried about Gail; she has been strangely quiet, a far cry from the outspoken young woman he's always known her to be. She seems to have lost part of herself.
For months, Reginald has been planning a marriage proposal, already having received the blessing of Gail's father and even bought a ring with money saved from his job at the five and dime. On Valentine's Day, he takes her to The Florentine, and while Gail is appreciative, she remains distant. An encounter with Father Louis of St. Gregory the Great Church also leaves a slight chill in the air.
In spite of everything, Reginald hopes for a future with the girl he loves.
