The Weight of Grace

No story is ever truly finished; every ending is merely the opening of a heavier, more luminous path.The Weight of Grace serves as a companion to Absolution, yet it remains independent.

From the rugged coast of Rhode Island to the neon streets of Manhattan, this collection weaves a tapestry of prequels, sequels, and refractions where ordinary souls collide with the extraordinary reality of grace and mercy.A grieving brother delivers a brutal, unvarnished truth during a memorial service ("Great Salt Pond").A troubled socialite finds new purpose in a life of service ("The Winter Garden").A haunted pilgrim discovers that high abbey walls cannot halt the warfare of the soul ("The Weight of Grace").A Hollywood action star, confronted by a mysterious white rose, realizes that playing a priest requires more than a costume ("Casting Call").
