Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.

KatieLBK ,

Exquisite writing

However…..this is a 36 page short story not a 128 page short novel as described. Very disappointing. That said, this is a sensitive, moving, beautifully written story.

The ending

I would have like more detail about what happened to Sarah. Did not care for the ending.

Worth reading, time flies in this book.

Excellent, relatable story of courage and doing the right thing despite risking it all.
