  rejected and crucified Jesus is alive is something that cannot possibly

  fallout from a vast explosion, a radioactive fallout which is not lethal
  but life-giving.

Lee is a writer who really understands loneliness, but her voice is so appealing, and her perceptions so wise, that we feel all the less lonely for knowing her characters and experiencing their lives.
