"The story begins as Tim (Sloan) takes a position as pastor in a small country church deep in the heart of Appalachia. The job is a cover as he investigates his mother's disappearance. Raised in a foster home until he was 18, Tim has always believed that his mother abandoned him at the age of five. Now he has learned that she had returned to the town of Cairns Grove to confront the wealthy man she claimed was Tim's father and to demand child support. She never returned. Tim suspects she was murdered, and he intends to find the killer and avenge her death. His investigation, however, takes longer than he has planned, and over the course of a year he unwittingly becomes embedded in the small Appalachian community and its web of formal and informal family relationships in ways he never anticipated. These relationships challenge both his hard-edged cynicism and his religious beliefs and lead to a surprising revelation: His mother was indeed murdered but not by the person whom he suspects. This discovery forces him to deal with a crisis of faith and conscience." (on back cover of book)
