Jessie Sullivan's conventional life has been "molded to the smallest space possible." So when she is called home to cope with her mother's startling and enigmatic act of violence, Jessie finds herself relieved to be apart from her husband, Hugh. Jessie loves Hugh, but on Egret Island-- amid the gorgeous marshlands and tidal creeks--she becomes drawn to Brother Thomas, a monk who is mere months from taking his final vows. What transpires will unlock the roots of her mother's tormented past, but most of all, as Jessie grapples with the tension of desire and the struggle to deny it, she will find a freedom that feels overwhelmingly right. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Catholic women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a South Carolina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Spiritual life $v Fiction. 610 20 $a Benedictines $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Monks $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Religious fiction. 650 0 $a Love stories. 941 $a 9 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516011343.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204034019.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110020753.0 952 $l NQPA983 $d 20180628025735.0 952 $l MSPA553 $d 20180628014649.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20150902015514.0 952 $l JLPF081 $d 20150213092457.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20140306010432.0 952 $l RDPB017 $d 20100911101717.0 $m F Kidd PB 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59BC932A6BF911DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a C0 $b IM9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
