Living in a holy world, Susan wonders why she's so miserable. Is she the problem, as her parents and husband believe?
When Susan married Nathan, she was so excited to be a Clergyman’s wife. Her religious family was delighted as well. Nathan might be a popular young vicar at St. Mary’s church, but at home he is a different person. Susan is convinced she is the problem, and that’s what Nathan and everyone else in her life believes too.
There is no one Susan can talk can confide in. Not a single person in her life would believe that her vicar husband is a vicious abuser.
The wealthy Paul Sant steps in to underwrite the restoration of St. Mary’s church. As the chairman of the Restoration Committee she’s been told that about Paul Sant's bad-boy reputation. Susan finds his reputation and his love of historic churches an odd combination. She knows there is more to Paul than meets the eye, and soon discovers that good and bad hide in unexpected places.
