Beschreibung
When 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 her church more progressive stirs up a hornet’s nest with her 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.
Before her husband’s death from ALS, Miranda had been head chef at a renowned Boston restaurant. Now, 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 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. Filled with sweet humor and lots of heart, Widow’s Walk is an uplifting read.
