Likewise greeted with rapturous praise, \u003cem\u003eSweet Lamb of Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e is a first-person account of a young mother, Anna, fleeing her cold and unfaithful husband, a businessman who's just launched his first campaign for political office.

But the longer they stay, the less the guests in the dingy motel look like typical tourists--and the less Ned resembles a typical candidate. As his pursuit of Anna and their child moves from threatening to criminal, Ned begins to alter his wife's world in ways she never could have imagined. \u003cp\u003eA double-edged and satisfying story with a strong female protagonist, a thrilling plot, and a creeping sense of the apocalyptic, \u003cem\u003eSweet Lamb of Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e builds to a shattering ending with profound implications for its characters--and for all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMillet, Lydia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLydia Millet\u003c\/strong\u003e has won awards from PEN Center USA and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and her books have been finalists for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Book Prize.
