Is history a timeline of events or a scripted narrative wielded by those in power? A.P. Andes’ genre-bending tetralogy, The Latecoming West, weaves multiple storylines across the millennia in pursuit of the answer. 

In Volume III, Falling Through the Roof of Hell, the charismatic, resourceful Joan, disguised as a man, draws ever closer to the Holy See, while sinister forces conspire to beat her to the prize. 

Meanwhile, in the Warsaw ghetto, Rahel and Patek struggle to survive appalling conditions and persecution as the Nazis move toward the Final Solution. These two heroines, over a thousand years apart, channel their courage, passion, and capacity for love to confront humanity at its worst.
