Description: "Word has come to Father Dowling that his beloved St. Hilary's is about to be closed. While the popular parish priest manages to take the curveballs of life--and death--in stride, his flock is in an uproar. Especially the church's most influential benefactor. Her grandfather commissioned a famous artist to create St. Hilary's gorgeous stained-glass windows generations ago. Now she's using her family fortune to pay a writer to showcase the artist's work and hopes to save the church. But skeletons in the family closet start rattling with the discovery of a body hanging in a garage. The victim is misidentified until surprising details link her to the church benefactor's family. Will Father Dowling and the St. Hilary's community unearth the deepest secrets of a family, a community and a church in time to save them all?"--Publisher.
