As a ten year old, Patrick O’Brien is abused by his priest. Ashamed and afraid no one will believe him, for years he carries the unspeakable act alone, allowing it to eat at the recesses of his heart, destroying relationships one by one.
Finally he is confronted by the one person who is determined to get to the truth no matter what the cost. She has waited almost two decades to unravel his lies, to break down his barriers, and to find out why he was more interested in saving souls than claiming her. When she appears at his door he can no longer run; there’s no escaping the past, even if it destroys him.
I'm an avid reader, and I was totally absorbed in this wonderful, believable story. Although it is a love story, Keeping Faith is very much a story that touches all the senses because it speaks to the heart through scenery, food, faraway beautiful places and well-developed interesting characters. I learned about places I have never been and dishes and wines I have never tried.
