Welcome back to Hawk Island and the village of Two Brooks. 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. Angela Matias is a cunning, intelligent, and persistent spitfire who feels compelled to choose just one of the three men she loves. While Ascendida struggles with the concept of forgiveness and her desire to love a man not a boy, Nascimento continues to grapple with her voyeurism. As Madalena must either forget Saul and move on with her life or bring him back, Dona Mafalda yearns to be loved, but cannot trust love to be kind. As the women take it upon themselves to solve a centuries-long mystery, they once again find themselves questioning the rules and norms of their island and inescapably facing the consequences. 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.
