The Redemptive Return

My faith lies in tatters after the events of the summer. I’ve neglected my prayers. I’ve avoided my priestly duties.I am questioning everything about myself--except my feelings for Helen.When my estranged sister goes missing, I fly home to look for her--with Helen surprising me on the plane.My sister’s dead when I arrive. I’m too late to save her. But I promise to find her killer.But emotions are fragile things, and in the depths of my despair, my love for Helen bursts forth in a grief fueled frenzy of passion and longing. In coming home, what have I found--my damnation, or my redemption?
