It’s the spring of 2002, and a perfect storm has hit Boston. Across the city’s archdiocese, trusted priests have been accused of the worst possible betrayal of the souls in their care. Estranged for years from her difficult Irish-American family, Sheila McGann has remained close to her brother, Art, the popular, dynamic pastor of a large suburban parish. When Art finds himself at the center of the scandal, Sheila comes back to Boston, ready to fight for him and his reputation. But what she discovers is more complicated than she imagined as long-buried secrets come to the surface.
