Maria Magliani, a forty-something single mom, finds fate to be unfair and unkind. Since her husband Michael died -- purportedly by his own hand -- she and son, Chip must fend for themselves, relying on acquired skills and experiences from a parochial Irish-Italian background. She and her cousin, Rocco, a Des Moines detective, partner to investigate a string of drug-related sexual assaults with altar boys. The drama elevates and tempers sizzle as the two discover lewd and licentious conduct by a young priest -- or so it seems. At the same time, Maria leaps into the middle of a love triangle -- a provocative dalliance with high school honey, Frankie, and fire-fighter, Clancy. Good Girls Blush will keep you intrigued and immersed in this riveting read
