And the biggest question in the bizarre chain of events is not what, or how, but why?Wounded Little Gods is a tale that brings mythology to a sci-fi thriller that's filled with a sense of place--a place where gods are in many ways human and point to the ways in which humans can be inhumane.

She discovers that she is more intertwined in the strange events in her hometown than she ever knew.
