On New Year's Eve, 1989, Father Perry Burns is sitting in his study, accompanied by a mysterious stranger. Perry has just received a letter from his former sweetheart, whom he jilted years earlier after making a terrible decision. He joined the priesthood to hide from his emotions, but now he finds himself recalling, almost reliving, his checkered past. Will the mysterious stranger win the fight for Father Burns' soul, or will the struggling priest denounce his false life and return to Baltimore to answer to the woman he has always loved?

"Maria Savva's story spans several decades and is reminiscent of "East of Eden" and "A Yellow Raft in Blue Water" in terms of exploring several generations of a family. This is a good book and deserves to be read.
