The avenue is awash in rumors and speculation about what might have happened to her.Enter sleuths Gracie and Tilly, 10-year-old best friends. After Mrs. Morton tells them God is everywhere, and the priest talks about God separating the goats and the sheep, they decide to go looking for God amongst their neighbors (the goats and sheep).
They never find God, but learn a lot of secrets about the folks in the neighborhood, and solve a long-buried mystery in the process.
