While the sea slowly kisses the sand on the small beach of Saint Carlos, preparations for an Episcopal retreat begin while members of the Sacristy, a group of unconventional women who live in Two Brooks, set down a new path lined with quandaries and challenges.

In this third book of the Hawk Island series, members of the Sacristy must come to terms with decisions and actions that profoundly affect their lives.
