RoseEmerald — Neil Baker

Frank and Earth Goddess RoseEmerald, are headed for the Oregon Coast in their automobile named Hardy, when they pick up a hitchhiker who claims to be Jesus, and crash their car in front of a Strange Lonely Church. Taken in by the mysterious Keeper, Frank and RoseEmerald become entangled in a historical battle between religion and mysticism whereby they transcend time in a magical mystery tour of thoughts, dreams, fantasies and emotions, and experience the Final Vision.
Part hippy counterculture, part detective novel, part Civil War Epic, part Spiritual Odyssey and part Call of the WILD (the novel includes a talking dog named Fast Freeze), RoseEmerlad is, underneath it all, a love story that embraces the eternal themes of sacrifice, salvation, and sainthood.
