Mary Margaret, not the sharpest knife in the box, lives between two poles. When she isn't yet have in church, she's caring for her flat-bound, morbidly obese mother, Fidelma. Alice Armitage, happily married to Larry, counts the days until their son will be home from a review tour of this book duty in Afghanistan. The fourth woman, Stella, lives in a loveless marriage to MP Rufus and spends her time wishing the days away till she can collect her 10 year old son from boarding school. Father Diamond ministers to these women and the church community in general, but we hope whilst worrying about his own adequacy and faith.
