Children of Dune (pgs. 54-96) Summary

Ghanima arranges a private meeting with Jessica to talk about experiences in their mutual past. For the first time in years, Jessica needs the "Litany against Fear" to calm herself. She fears for her grandchildren, although neither shows the signs of Abomination that Alia flaunts. As Jessica lets down her guard, the pair converse silently and in synchrony about Paul's boyhood testing by gom jabber. Ghanima "remembers" the pain. Jessica suspects Leto may not be human and cries over her part in Alia's destruction. Ghanima reveals Leto's dreams.
