Description
Thomas Donlon made a bargain with God. If his wife survived the night, the son born of this terrible labor would become a priest. So Hugh Donlon's life is directed toward that vocation by his loving parents. When he is tempted in his youth by the beautiful Maria Manfredy, she is removed from his life...
But the priesthood is not the idealistic service Hugh had been led to expect, and when the revolution of the Sixties comes, Hugh leaves it and rushes headlong into marriage and the secular world.
