The H-Bomb and the Jesus Rock

It's Saturday, october 27, 1962, the darkest day of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Two children, Ralph and his little sister Lou, are searching for empty bottles in a vacant lot when they discover a rock which-to them, at least-looks quite a lot like Jesus. Ralph immediately declares it a Possible Holy Object. And, since his fondest wish is to be a "boy-in-a-story," he earnestly places himself and Lou-now his "sidekick"-in a tale featuring the "sacred rock" as the key to nothing less than saving the world from nuclear annihilation.
