#405 Ordinary Sins- Kirsten Valdez Quade
Crystal works in the parish office. She took the job to pay
some bills, and never intended to stay long. But now she is single, and
pregnant, and her needs run further than money.
Father Paul is a beloved Priest, seemingly perfect and
without sin, minus the former addiction with alcohol. But being sober for the
last twenty-eight years, even that seems like a virtue. The New priest assigned
to the Parish, Father Leon is traditional, cold, and judgmental.
The sins of the past, and present haunt each one in this
story. Where there seems to be the strongest support, may lay the largest
weakness.
Notable Passage: “Impressive how efficiently her
subconscious tallied, dismantled, and blended together her sins, molding them
all into a tidy and disturbing little narrative as persistent and irksome as
pine sap.”
