Summary

Maggie Quinn, the narrator, is a middle aged Irish woman who has settled as a housekeeper at the rectory of Father Jack Devlin, an admired and beloved priest in a small town in western Massachusetts.Two young men accuse Father Jack of sexually abusing them decades ago when they were altar boys. Maggie is convinced it is a lie. Father Jack assumes a dignified, quiet stance through the course of the trial. Slowly, doubts creep into Maggie's mind as she sifts through memories of her life with Father Jack. When an unsolved case of a murdered boy resurfaces, she faces a crucial dilemma: does she stand by a man who may have perpetrated horrible crimes, or does she go with her instinct that the kind man she has known for decades is being falsely accused?A gripping tale of crime, punishment, and faith in small town America, The Blind Side of the Heart features vividly drawn characters faced with compelling moral choices.
