Only Begotten Daughter by James K. Morrow

The novel presents a thought-provoking tale of a young woman who discovers she is the daughter of God, born of a virgin father through a miraculous occurrence. Set in a world that mirrors our own but with a satirical twist, the narrative follows her journey as she grapples with her divine heritage, existential dilemmas, and the expectations of humanity. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters including a brother who is a semi-immortal sea monster, a satanic figure, and a talking dog, all while exploring themes of faith, free will, and the nature of salvation. Her quest for self-understanding and purpose leads her through a series of adventures that challenge conventional religious notions and the very concept of divinity.
