Another good book - I am on a roll! This one takes place in Boston in 2002. The Catholic Church is reeling from priests being accused of the unthinkable. This is the story of Father Art who is caught up in one such situation. The story is told from the point of view of his sister, Shelia. She has been fairly removed from her family for many years with the exception of Art. Now she comes to his defense and will do anything to clear his name. Their mother is angry and embarrassed and brother Mike is not so quick to believe in his brother's innocence. Father Art has a difficult time being out in the real world in a real apartment. The story is less about the accusation than it is about the characters. There is some mystery in Art's life and Shelia has to put the pieces together to understand everything.
