An excellent sequel, May 24 2010
By F. J. Masterman "The PlanetCare Discoveries" - Published on Amazon.com
In this well-constructed and well-written sequel to Flying to Tombstone, the author continues the saga of Father Jerry Hanning, a widowed Episcopal priest, who pilots his plane between Tucson and his two parishes in Bisbee and Tombstone. Father Jerry must combat both natural disaster (as a range fire threatens property and people) and a host of interpersonal and biting social problems. The difficulties associated with the Arizona-Mexico border-- illegal immigrants, migrant farm workers, and the reactions of people in his congregations and communities-- give this book both an urgency and relevance which is treated with fairness and sensitivity for all involved. As his congregations face a number of liberal challenges to their innate conservatism, Father Jerry seeks to guide them to new and compassionate understandings. Also, Father Jerry discovers and must deal with information about an unusually successful non-denominational pastor, whose right wing idealism masks a resident evil posing a terrible threat to the community. These many strands of conflict are woven into a story that is very engaging, as well as being highly accurate in all matters presented, as very believable characters struggle towards peace in their personal lives and that of their communities. These many events are portrayed against the backdrop of the love story of Jerry and his fiancée Maddie Gronek. Their relationship deepens throughout the book, providing a small hint of what may transpire in the final installment of this trilogy. As with the first book, and doubtlessly true of the third, The Vicar of Bisbee is a compelling story of present-day life in southern Arizona, with its joys, sorrows, and above all hope for a better future.
