Thy Brother's Wife
by Andrew M. Greeley
Part 1 of the Passover series
The direction of Paul and Sean Cronin's lives was shaped the day their father, a self-made multimillionaire, decided that one of his boys would grow up to be a cardinal while the other would become president of the United States.
For his elder son, Paul, the father had even chosen a wife-the beautiful Nora, who had come to the Cronin home as an orphan child years before. Obediently, and with a genuine vocation, the younger son, Sean, went into the priesthood. With a more cynical view, Paul went to Notre Dame to prepare for a life in politics until the Korean War intervened. Then came the news-Paul Cronin was missing in action.
"If he dies," Sean's father told him, "you must leave the seminary and marry Nora." The words sang in Sean's head. Could he renounce his sacred calling-and marry the girl he had always loved?
Long out of print, Thy Brother's Wife is a classic tale by one of America's most loved storytellers.

Lord of the Dance
by Andrew M. Greeley
Part 3 of the Passover series
A classic tale by one of America's most beloved storytellers.
High in the cold skies above China, Daniel Farrell flew alone, a spy pilot on secret surveillance. It was to be his last mission...
When the news of his loss was reported to his family, the rich and influential Farrells of Chicago, they mourned him and let the years bury what was too painful to face ... until a granddaughter's innocent school assignment threatened to expose the family's hidden skeletons.
The Farrells had worked their way up from poverty to become the owners of a Chicago construction empire. But behind the façade of piety and public service, the family hid a shocking private scandal. There was a reason they had never insisted on a full investigation of the disappearance of Danny Farrell...
With a master storyteller's skill, Andrew M. Greeley disentangles the web of deception to reveal the souls of men and women ravaged by love and hate and the struggle for success.
