This humorous novel follows Father Francis, a young, English, Catholic priest to his first parish in America. He is not sure what to expect, but certainly isn’t prepared for what he finds. As if his new role isn’t challenging enough, he struggles with everything from jalapenos to fire ants, from church politics to the language barrier.
Having unwittingly managed to alienate his parish’s main benefactor, Frank soon finds himself in hot water with his Diocese. His troubles only increase when he stumbles across suspicious goings-on deep in the Florida orange groves. Can he solve the mystery before he loses his parish…or his life?
