Synopsis
Anne Tucker is a fifty-five-year-old educator-turned-writer who lives in Turner Falls, Maine. When Crown Press selects her novel for publication, she develops a rich, intense relationship with her editor, Emily Ryder.
Father Dennis McManus frequently finds himself at odds with his superiors due to his strong views on abortion and gay rights. After he and Sister Carol Robinson hold a rally supporting same-sex marriage, their bishop pressures them to abandon their beliefs or leave the Church.
The lives of these characters intersect when a priest confesses to Dennis that he has molested a young boy. Dennis refuses to hold his disclosure in confidence, and all hell breaks loose in the diocese and beyond. As Anne, Emily, Dennis, and Carol search for the identity of the abused child, the middle-aged detectives must confront the minefield of their beliefs . . . and their feelings.
Unveiled is a story of struggle, advocacy, courage, and-most of all-the healing power of love.
