Publisher's Summary:
Ben wakes up in a hospital with a hole in his head he can't explain. What he can remember he'd rather forget. Like how he and his wife, Maggie, drifted apart.
Maggie is alone. Again. With bills to pay and Ben in a psych ward, she must return to work. But who would hire her in the state she's in? And just as Maggie turns to her brother, Francis, the Internet explodes with video of his latest escapade.
Francis is an unlikely priest with a drinking problem and little interest in celibacy. When Maggie takes him in, he knows he may be down to his last chance. And his best shot at healing might lie in helping Maggie and Ben reconnect - against all odds.
