But on her father s death, she discovers something that turns her world upside down: she is not who she thought she was. Her quest to find her true identity sends her hurtling from the arms of her married lover and her comfortable New England life into the murky past of Catholic Ireland and Boston's seedy underbelly. The truths she uncovers are difficult and disturbing; nothing is as it seems. But only in discovering where she came from can she truly come home.
