About this ebook

Rose Banfry McGuire’s world shatters when she meets a young man at her father’s funeral who seems familiar, though this is the first time they have met. When this young man shakes hands with her brother, Rose sees the resemblance, and the past thirty years of secrets and lies collapses into the stark fact of him.

The Narrow Gate is a novel of three generations of Banfry women who deal with scandal, shame and heartbreak. At the center of each of their lives is the Church, which they both embrace for its comforts and struggle against for its demands and its faults. Each woman must face the ultimate test of faith: Can I forgive?
