Defaced by the blast of an insulting husband, and abiding her full life with austere social anxiety disarray, the widow Mary McAllister expends about sixty years cloistered in a white marble mansion commanding the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the away world are few: the mail, the media, an older priest with a shamed habit of abstracting spoons, and a bedroom window with a aspect of the town beneath.
Most longtime occupants of Mill River believe the marble house and its resident peculiar, although unimportant, fixtures. An arsonist, a envious nurse, and the adorable village idiot are one of the few who have ever seen Mary. Freshmen to Mill River–a police officer and his daughter and a new fourth grade teacher–are also funny about the cloistered old woman. But only Father Michael O’Brien knows Mary and the secret she keeps–one that, once broke, will convert all of their lives always.
The Mill River reclusive is a story of triumph over disaster, one that prompts us of the appraise of friendship and the power of love to come from the most forced of places.
