Her complicated relationship with him is immediately misunderstood as a love affair. Determined to disregard the increasing rumors about them, she innocently provokes him to violence that ends in tragedy.The story is told through the eyes of a very human and humorous priest who enjoys his martinis and is not swayed by what he considers meaningless convention.The joy and sorrow that his assistant has brought into his life and parish gives Sam a much deeper understanding of his role as a faithful servant in the vineyard.
