    • Tyler Caskey è una presenza insolita per la comunità di West Arinett. È giovane e i suoi sermoni sono brillanti, frutto di una preparazione e di una sensibilità fuori dal comune. Ed è diverso dalle precedenti guide spirituali che i fedeli hanno conosciuto perché ha carisma, e una moglie di grande bellezza e sensualità accanto. Quasi uno schiaffo di vitalità per tutta la cittadina. Eppure un giorno tutto può cambiare, l'attrazione trasformarsi in sospetto e maldicenza. La giovane signora Caskey muore. Una morte che travolgerà il marito e le loro bambine in modo irreversibile. La figlia maggiore, Katherine, di appena cinque anni, smette di parlare chiudendosi in un silenzio impenetrabile; Tyler non trova più le parole adatte in chiesa, né alcuna misericordia per chi si rivela ottuso, arido, distante. Cosa resta, quindi, del conforto religioso? Poco o niente, se di fronte alla fragilità di un lutto che si apre come una voragine, nessuno riesce a compenetrarsi nel dolore altrui, se le meschinità di un quotidiano prosciugato di ogni calore si moltiplicano tra le mille illazioni che corrono lungo i fili del telefono propagando sciocche storie di adulterio o di malattia mentale.
