Reseña del editor:

Father Frank Healy returns after twenty years in the service of the Church to the Basswood Reservation, home of the Ojibway Indians, where he encounters Libby Girard, a woman from his past who pulls him into a world of drugs, alcoholism, and death

Nota de la solapa:

r's brilliance has always been his ability to achieve the depth of real literature through such sure-handed, no-gimmicks, honest language that the result appears effortless."
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
After more than twenty years in the priesthood, Father Frank Healy is going home. But what he finds at the battered Our Lady's Church are very few believers and Libby Girard, a woman from his past, whom he thought he'd never see again. But Libby's life is unraveling, and as she becomes dependent on him, the lives around them erupt in a tangle of drugs and despair, alcoholism and death. Ultimately, Frank's vocation is tested at its weakest place: his continuing love for Libby.
