Casting the Net

Synopsis

'Light, amusing, but at heart dealing with serious issues of faith and friendship and family.' The Irish Catholic

Neil returns from his ordination inspired by his vocation, and determined not to let his love life get in the way. Some might think a man lucky to have two women declaring their love for him, but it's not that straightforward when you're a priest!

Neil's second year as curate of St Stephen's, in the small town of Dunbridge, promises to be no quieter than the [url] are joys to be shared, such as the birth of Ellen, a long prayed for baby, and bereavements that shake the community to its core. Neil must continue to step up and shoulder his share of caring for his parish. And of course, there are the women who would take care of him - from his domineering mother, who appears to have moved in, and Wendy, who is sure she should be a vicar's wife, to Claire, who doesn't believe in God, but does believe in Neil.

There is much going on below the surface in this seemingly sleepy town.
