About this audiobook
With wisdom, humor and insight, The Busy World is Hushed examines the contradictions we find in our faith, our families and ourselves. Hannah, a widowed Episcopal minister, is hoping to translate a long-lost gospel when she is challenged by both her scholarly assistant and her wayward gay son. But when family secrets are revealed, only the intercession of a stranger can help Hannah find peace.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Jill Clayburgh, Hamish Linklater and Luke MacFarlane.
