β¦ Synopsis
Recently ordained and more recently divorced, Reverend Esme Browne finds herself at an uncomfortable crossroads when stationed at the Portland Road Chapel. In addition to the seaside town, she also now bears the spiritual responsibility for two country chapels, which, for the efficient, well-versed, forty-something lifelong student should be exciting, invigorating and even hopeful. Esme, however, has forgotten how to pray, and, she fears, how to feel.
A chance encounter with an eccentric pair of country gnostics may change all that, but sheβll have to be willing to juggle the demands of the Church, her parishes and a bevy of well intended but nibby neighbors, before sheβll know for sure.
