This distinctly Catholic novella comprises a set of free standing
pieces that nevertheless make up a whole story. From a sundry cast
of characters we see emerge an uncommonly attractive woman, Monica,
in a series of corrosive affairs until, finding herself at a moral
dead end, she attempts (we learn) to take her life, mercifully
without success. Recovering physically, but with a still unsettled
conscience, she comes to the attention of a young curate who tries
to help her. This young priest has unresolved needs of his own,
disclosed when he finds himself inordinately drawn to her,
troubling the priest's own conscience. What happens next reveals
the action of grace in the most ordinary of circumstances. This is
a tale, then, of a grace that mysteriously enters into, and heals,
disordered affections of the heart. Interestingly, this healing
does not come about by slamming the door on human love just because
it is disordered. As we see, there is a blessed lesson to be
learned regarding these matters of the heart, one involving an act
of holy trust. The author, Bernard Scott, is an award-winning short
story writer, anthologized essayist, and published poet. His short
adventure/mystery novel, Secret of Lost Mountain, was a finalist in
the 2012 Tuscany Prize for Catholic Fiction. He is happily married
and knows whereof he speaks.
