Overview

In the small coastal town of Sparrow, Maine, tradition runs deep--and change is rarely welcome When Reverend Miranda McCurdy becomes the new parish priest at St. Gabriel-by-the Sea, she's determined to make a difference in her small community. But her eagerness to make the church more progressive stirs up a hornet's nest with members of the Thanksgiving committee who don't want to give up their long tradition of dressing like ""Pilgrims and Indians,"" and when a young, pregnant, Honduran woman seeks sanctuary at St. Gabe's, the congregation's response is not what she'd hoped. Juggling the demands of her congregation with her own solitude as a young widow, it's hard to know if her calling to serve the church was real. When she's faced with a vote of no confidence, followed by an offer from her former employer to head up a new upscale restaurant in Seattle, she has an easy way out, but can she walk away? A lost dog and a handsome stranger only complicate matters.

Author Information

Jane Willan is the author of the heartwarming yet murderous Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn Mystery series. Writing clerical mysteries comes naturally to Jane since she is the pastor of a white steepled church in a small New England town and divides her time between composing sermons and dreaming up murder-seldom letting the two overlap. She does her best writing in a converted walk-in closet at the church parsonage with just enough room for one desk, two dogs, and a Royal Manual typewriter. Cynthia Farrell is a narrator, musical theater singer, and voice-over actor in English and in Spanish: her mother is part Spanish/Costa Rican. She has enjoyed narrating in the young adult, as well as sci-fi, crime drama, romance, Christian, children's, and nonfiction genres. She feels that her strong definition of character, musicality within the text, diction, and tone stem from from her work as a theater singer. She lives with her daughters in Manhattan.
