In the small coastal town of Sparrow, Maine, tradition runs deep—and change is rarely welcomeWhen Reverend Miranda McCurdy becomes the new parish priest at St. Gabriel-by-the Sea, she’s determined to make a difference in her small community. But her eagerness to make the church more progressive stirs up a hornet’s nest with members of the Thanksgiving committee who don’t want to give up their long tradition of dressing like “Pilgrims and Indians,” and when a young, pregnant, Honduran woman seeks sanctuary at St. Gabe’s, the congregation’s response is not what she’d hoped. Juggling the demands of her congregation with her own solitude as a young widow, it’s hard to know if her calling to serve the church was real. When she’s faced with a vote of no confidence, followed by an offer from her former employer to head up a new upscale restaurant in Seattle, she has an easy way out, but can she walk away? A lost dog and a handsome stranger only complicate matters.
In the small coastal town of Sparrow, Maine, tradition runs deep—and change is rarely welcomeIn the quaint coastal parish of St. Gabriel-by-the-Sea, Reverend Miranda McCurdy arrives with visions of renewal—only to find her progressive ideas crashing against the rocky shores of tradition. When she challenges the cherished Thanksgiving pageant’s outdated “Pilgrims and Indians” costumes, she unwittingly ignites a firestorm within her congregation. As tensions escalate, a desperate Honduran woman seeking sanctuary in the church forces the parish to confront its deepest values, fracturing the community Miranda had hoped to rejuvenate. Facing a congregational vote of no confidence, the siren call of her former life as an executive chef at Seattle’s hottest new restaurant tempts her—an escape from the stormy waters of parish politics. But fate intervenes—in the form of a stray dog and an intriguing stranger—forcing Miranda to make an impossible choice: retreat to the familiar comforts of her culinary career or weather the tempest to nurture the fragile roots beginning to anchor her heart.
