Edm e lacks for nothing. Her adoring husband is a handsome and cosmopolitan engineer, they have two beautiful children, and they live a prosperous life in California. But all is not what it seems. Edm e is tortured by anxiety attacks. And her daughter Claudie shines with a disturbing inner knowledge. Choice of the Elect follows Edm e through the seriocomic adventures that ensue when she deserts her husband. Edm e believes herself to be on a holy mission and over the years takes up with a series of mysterious lovers and finds success in Hollywood--all with Claudie in tow. Yet over time, Claudie rejects her, and Edmee comes to wonder whether this is tragedy or the price the holy must pay for being elect.
