Description: "Father Paul LeBlanc is young, handsome, and charismatic. He has just been transferred out of Boston because of his dangerous ideas on sex, marriage, and birth control - and because he just doesn't uphold the decorum expected of a young priest. Exiled to a summer beach community, he looks after elderly Father Moriarty, an unlikely saint who, on the edge of death, is beginning to question his belief in God. Father LeBlanc goes on preaching his edgy homilies, making his efficient way on the path to sanctity.

Then Rose Perez and Annaka Malley enter his life, looking, each in her own way, for answers." "When, for no reason, a miracle occurs - a dead girl is brought back to life before his eyes - Father LeBlanc finds his faith and his vows, his reason, his life itself, all called into question, leaving him with nowhere to turn."--BOOK JACKET.
