He must of course tend to his parishioners as usual among them Mrs. Armstrong who flaunts a menacing grip on the parish and Ella Downing whose lonely existence masks a tragic secret. As Ira touches extremes of joy misery tenderness and even violence in these lives he also confronts -- and accepts -- surprising elements in his own nature.
