What happens when fate brings two people together, and faith tears them apart? Father Matthew is a handsome, charismatic man, with a wonderful sense of humor. Kate, after suffering a painful divorce, is thrilled to have met a friend in whom she can confide and feel safe. But as their relationship blossoms, they fall victim to temptation and embark on a journey of forbidden love; a journey that the Roman Catholic Church will go to unfathomable lengths to conceal.
The writing was pretty terrible, and to be honest, I really didn't like many of the people. But it is a memoir based on the life of a Brunswick, ME woman who has an affair and bares the child of a priest who once served at my hometown church (scandalous!). It was interesting to read about something that happened so close to town, and it was especially interesting to have an inside look at the Church's reaction to something like this. A good beach read.
