Abide with Me: A Novel

He, the Reverend Tyler Caskey, was leading these people to a life filled with the bountifulness of God. The place was at least a hundred years old, built and farmed for decades by the family of Joshua Locke. Tyler’s behavior was gone over with such enthusiasm that the fact he had told Alison Chase her apple crisp was delicious while he did, in truth, hate apples, took on the sheen of questionable character. Finally her small dog stopped yapping and collapsed at her feet.
