Description: New Orleans in the 1950s shelters a number of strangers who will meet in Karen Palmer's novel of redemptive love. A Cajun named Harlan Dessonier is languishing in the Quarter, longing for home but reluctant to go, because it means having to face the pain of his wife's infidelity. Another is Glory Wiltz, a white nurse with a young biracial child who will soon be old enough to experience segregation. All Saints is about the spiritual centers of people and the critical epiphanies that determine destiny.
