While scrounging for materials at the local scrapyard, the Prophet sees a car pull up to an abandoned gas station. In the back seat is a teenage girl with zip ties on her wrists, a girl he realizes he must rescue from her current life. Her name is Michael, and the Prophet feels certain that she is a messenger sent by God to take his end-time warnings to the White House. Michael finds herself in the Prophet's remote, art-filled cabin, and as their uncertain dynamic evolves into tender friendship, she is offered a surprising opportunity to escape her past--and perhaps change her future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving through the worlds of the Prophet, the girl, and a beguiling devil figure who dances in the corner of their lives, \u003ci\u003eTwo-Step Devil\u003c\/i\u003e is a propulsive, philosophical examination of fate and faith that dares to ask what salvation, if any, can be found in our modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJamie Quatro\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable author of \u003ci\u003eI Want to Show You More\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Art Seidenbaum Award and the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Prize, and \u003ci\u003eFire Sermon\u003c\/i\u003e, a Book of the Year for the \u003ci\u003eEconomist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLitHub\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBloomberg\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e.
