Elena was born to a virgin. The scientist confirmed that she was born through a process called parthenogenesis. What scientist can't explain is how she healed her crush’s gunshot wound and why the shooter disappeared into the sky in a halo of light. Oh, and one more thing, the Starbucks mermaid talks to Elena. She told Elena that she must continue to heal and perform miracles or the world will end; however, everytime she saves a life random people will be taken up into the sky. Elena is not sure if the voice if from God or a god? Is it fair to save one life but allow so many more to disappear into the sky? And why is she the who has to save the world? The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza is a thought-provoking read.
