Long ago Al's Dad made him pray for his wife. He was about eight at the time so possibly he didn't take it seriously. He prayed for a girlfriend who wouldn't interfere with his fishing, would sleep a lot, and would love the beach, but hate dolls. Around that time Maddie was born. What if God was listening to that prayer, but despite all human logic seriously decided to give Al his four wishes? Or has He? A lot of men seem to think Maddie is the answer to their prayers.Maddie of course doesn't know this. She's intending to never marry anyone but a rich man, since a rich man owns his own beach. Her dream is to spend her time sleeping on the beach being very lazy.Then there's the other problem in both of their lives, the one of the delusional but violent man who thinks God created Maddie just for him. After all Maddie sleeps on the beach all day, and so doesn't flirt with other men. She never goes out with anyone, which means she's pure. Purity is good because it won't wake the beast that lives inside him. All he has to do is get her attention, and then he sees her best friend...Will the death of her best friend grab Maddie's attention and succeed in motivating Maddie? How long can guilt stop Maddie being lazy? How many women will die around her before she learns sleeping can be a dangerous thing?
