Christine Wright is having a bad day.

She's an ex-special forces soldier, a recovering alcoholic, and now a freshly minted church minister whose first act of ministry is to cover up a murder. Maybe her reflexes are a little too twitchy for parish life.

From the opening page, All Is Well races through cover-ups and confessions-from a body hastily buried behind the rectory to a furious parishioner desperate to keep her beloved church alive in an indifferent, secular world. Shadowing Christine's every move is a terminally ill military cop determined to bring her to justice.

""If you like your priests and their sermons filled with comfortable, pious assertions, if your soul cries out for order and propriety, you might not warm up to Christine Wright-but I did. Readers out there, hang on for a dazzling ride and a howling good time. This is a novelist's debut to remember.""

-DAVID CARPENTER, award-winning author of Welcome to Canada and The Gold

Among the novel's many revelations is how quickly we find ourselves rooting for the flawed, irreverent Christine-a woman who cannot fake holiness, even when her life depends on it.

Mystic Julian of Norwich-she of the famous ""All shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well,"" is the patron saint of this wickedly funny novel.
