Description

When a prominent suburban pastor becomes embroiled in scandal, his estranged sister Sheila McGann returns to Boston determined to defend his reputation and restore their fractured family bond. But as she uncovers the truth behind the accusations, Sheila finds herself caught between loyalty to her brother and the weight of uncomfortable realities that challenge everything she thought she knew. Jennifer Haigh's compelling novel explores the collision between faith and doubt, family obligation and personal integrity, as one woman grapples with the consequences of secrets and the possibility of redemption. With unflinching honesty and emotional depth, this is a story about how the people closest to us can both sustain and devastate us, and how truth—however painful—can ultimately set us free.
