Publisher's Synopsis
Mary Jo Ryan traveled over twenty thousand miles, from Ireland, to Australia, to Savannah, Georgia, in search of love, security, and peace. Instead, she found bigotry, hatred, betrayal, and pain; and the nightmare of a secret which she carried alone, until she met Frances Jackson and Richard Frankel.
Frances was an African-American war widow whose courage saved Mary Jo's life and whose strong faith inspired her to live above her loneliness.
Richard was a combat pilot and Korean War hero seeking the truth in a world of wartime lies. His search to find his brother, a priest who had disappeared in 1949, revealed a Catholic conspiracy and a cover-up buried in the Pentagon. But it also led him to meet Mary Jo and her two sons -- the only real family Richard would ever know. To protect them, Richard's final mission would forever link Saint Patrick's parish in Savannah with CIA operations in Cuba, in a countdown to tragedy.
Much more than a mystery, this is the story of a Christian woman's faith, an embittered soldier's desperation, and a lonely warrior's courage. In God's providential plan, they overcome a web of lies and secrets sins on their shared journey to forgiveness and truth.
