Was $24.95. This one is a bit of a departure for the author of CHOCOLATE, BLACKBERRY WINE, COASTLINERS and FIVE QUARTERS OF THE ORANGE. The time is 1605. A pregnant women seeks refuge in a small abbey. She finds peace. The cool Reverend Mother dies and is replaced by a corrupt one, and her personal confessor. The confessor is a frightening figure from the young mother’s past and she must perform some dazzling and audacious acts to protect and to free both herself and her young daughter. #21779
