Benediction

Lois, a young girl, is anxious to meet her lover but makes an unexpected stop at her brother Keith's house, who is studying to become a Catholic priest. After not seeing him for many years, the encounter opens Lois' mind to things that she has not thought about before. When she tells Keith she isn't a devout Catholic anymore, Lois participates in a benediction in the chapel given by her brother. She experiences emotions she hasn't felt before and collapses into his arms. With themes of sibling relationships, family, and Catholicism, 'Benediction' offers insight into theology, inner life, and sympathy. 'Benediction' will delight fans of J. D. Salinger and Ernest Hemingway.
