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.
