Benedictions

Jesse Bradshaw Warren is a Presbyterian minister who appears to have everything:  she's the senior minister in a large church and she's happily married with two sons. When David Mack Kelly, a young gay man, comes to her for counseling, his presence in the church seems to worry others and Jesse starts to feel the conflict between her developing fondness for him, the animosity toward him from others, and his challenges to her doctrine and beliefs. Then, she faces an unspeakable family tragedy, and everything in Jesse’s life comes into question: her work as a minister, her marriage and her belief in God.
