Title: A beautiful gift
Review: This is a very special work. Characterization, dialogue, and setting are lapidary, providing great esthetic pleasure. There is an extra dimension, however, appreciated especially by those who have some knowledge of both the crucifixions and epiphanies of committed relationships and the Mystery found through the desert and beneath the darkness. This added dimension will be recognized by those who have been beaten up by life but still find a nameless hope in the kindness of strangers, the beauty of nature, the play of children, and the sacrament of intimacy. It also offers those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with what Andrew Greeley has called the Catholic sacramental vision of the world an engaging glimpse from a literarily gifted insider.
