PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Thomas s carefully built life has been shattered. Everywhere he turns,
he finds tragedy. After being left at the altar, he retreats to a remote
castle in the mountains of Northwest Montana to live with an old
college friend dying of lupus. But their painfully peaceful seclusion is
ripped apart by the news that Thomas s brother, an Episcopal priest,
has killed himself and his sister-in-law is abandoning her
seven-year-old daughter, Catherine, into Thomas s care.
After her
unexpected arrival into this grim corner of the world, Catherine slowly
breaches the isolation and penetrates the self-absorption. Like the
prayer wheel on the wall of a nearby convent, Catherine gently but
surely pulls the various dying people around her into the robust company
of the loving and living.
Catherine Wheels is a lyrical novel of
hope and redemption, the honest story of men and women who have had all
the zest for life knocked out of them damaged souls who are slowly
brought back to health by a little girl who knows something the rest of
them either never knew or had forgotten: something about prayer, love,
and sacrifice.
