The All of It



This "little" book packs a powerful punch.

The All of It, by Jeannette Haien, is set in a tiny Irish village, Roonatellin. When Kevin is near death, the local priest wants to know why Kevin and Edna never married, but "lived in sin". When Kevin reveals their secret, Father Declan de Lowry is surprised by what he hears, but realizes that they had reason to keep their secret.
I enjoyed this story, writing was thoughtful, and heartfelt.
