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 swear 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?
