These traits have rained in abundance on Brother Gabriel who has been summoned by Patience to Royal Palm Estate. The opulence of the greathouse is his primary interest but Patience has another mandate for him.

It is crunch time because for several weeks a trusted co-worker, Stringbeans has been missing. Her strong commitment to biblical traditions strengthens the belief of Patience that Brother Gabriel is best suited to be the final determinant about the fate of Stringbeans. Will this man of the cloth do what Mother Bembe could not do?
