The All of It by Jeannette Haien

When Ann Patchett spoke at my local bookstore, she talked about discovering this little book. I think she found it in a used book store, and after reading it, was instrumental in getting it back in print. At any rate, it's very well written and has an interesting story. A priest hears the "confession" of a woman after her "husband" dies. All the secrets come one - except one which we can imagine any way we wish. But the priest's attraction to the woman is where the book gets to me. As a non-Catholic I just think the celibacy thing is so silly. But I still recommend the book and in many ways understand why Ann Patchett recommended it so highly. - June
