Average rating2
When a new highway threatens to bypass the town of Rossmore and cut through Whitethorn Woods, everyone has a passionate opinion about whether the town will benefit or suffer. But young Father Flynn is most concerned with the fate of St. Ann's Well, which is set at the edge of the woods and slated for destruction. People have been coming to St. Ann's for generations to share their dreams and fears, and speak their prayers. Some believe it to be a place of true spiritual power, demanding protection; others think it's a mere magnet for superstitions, easily sacrificed. Father Flynn listens to all those caught up in the conflict, as the men and women of Whitethorn Woods must decide between the traditions of the past and the promises of the future.From the Paperback edition.

This book had so much potential but such a poor execution. There was very little plot in the book as a whole, each chapter was a short story that had little relation to the entire book. I loved the concept going into this book and if the author had taken a few of the short stories and expanded them instead of adding more short stories, this book could have been very good. She is clearly skilled as a writer, but this book will be unmemorable for me.
