- Synopsis
- Henry Dolan's granddaughter, Martha Lynch, adopted twenty-three years earlier by Henry's daughter and son-in-law, has decided she wants to find her birth parents. Her adopted parents are frantic over the idea of losing her, so Henry seeks out the popular pastor of St. Hilary's parish in Fox River, the parish that married the Dolans and baptized their children. Father Dowling is well known for his sensitivity and patient nurturing of his parishioners, and Henry hopes that the pastor can find a solution to this problem threatening his family's peace. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Dolans and the Lynches, Martha's birth father, Nathaniel Fleck, has contacted Martha's real mother, Madeline Lorenzo, for details about Martha. Madeline doesn't want to intrude on the young woman's life, nor does she want to upset her own. But he won't leave her alone, and so she turns in her panic to Amos Cadbury, a lawyer and one of Father Dowling's best friends, for advice. When Nathaniel is murdered two days later, Dowling and Cadbury come together to juggle their responsibilities to the families involved while uncovering the truth behind the murder.
