But things change when his father returns from the war . . .Brother Arnold knows that Brother Michael is keeping some kind of secret - but when he discovers what it is, he, too, finds himself getting drawn in . . .Jimmy Garvin is the apple of his mother's eye, brought up to be all the things his errant father isn't.
