My Last Confession
PROLOGUE: NOVEMBER,
1977
Molly O’Brien slid her frail body into the last pew
of the Arch Street Church in Boston, Massachusetts. Several
members of the congregation gave her critical looks as she
knelt down to pray. She was late for Mass, the gospel had
already started, and Molly had been told many times in her
youth to never arrive after the gospel lesson had begun. Her
mother had drilled that into all the O’Brien children
at an early age; Mass wouldn’t count, in God’s
eyes, if one missed the gospel. |
