Set against the rugged beauty of Canada's West Coast, this debut novel follows a woman who has seen the worst the world has to offer - and then tried to drink it away. A Canadian Armed Forces veteran haunted by combat and hollowed out by the bottle, she does the last thing anyone would expect: she turns to God. Not halfway. Not casually. All the way. She becomes a priest - her Hail Mary attempt to come in from exile from the human race.
What follows is a journey as unlikely as it is deeply human - equal parts sacred and profane, devastating and laugh-out-loud funny. Because the road from rock bottom to the pulpit is anything but a straight line, and the collar doesn't quiet the demons; it just gives them better seats.
Laced with sharp Canadian commentary, dark humour, and hard-won depth, this is a story about alienation, addiction, faith, and the stubborn, messy search for community, healing, and love. Come along for the ride - and find out if she finds what she's looking for.
