The novellas contain elements of science fiction, science fantasy, utopian and dystopian fiction, mystery, and horror, woven within an evangelical narrative.
Dramatizations of the novellas were produced for Christian radio by EarFlix. The series was conceived as a sequence of 48 novellas, but only forty were published.
Characters

Vicki Byrne — Vicki grew up in a trailer park, and hated it because people regularly made fun of her and her family by calling them "Trailer Trash".
