Delores Farrell of Sherborn, Massachusetts, had her future all planned out: she would marry an attorney, have sons who'd become attorneys, daughters who'd become patrons of the arts, and live in the shadow of Harvard University, thereby continuing her privileged purebred Irish-Catholic legacy.

It didn't quite work out that way.

Delores, now a Long Island housewife married to salesman Ken Kelleher, must watch as each of her five children adopt lives and lifestyles quite different from what she had imagined, including a sarcastic son who is missing a leg due to a terrible childhood accident.

One day, the boy who used to live across the street, and is now a successful journalist, oversees Delores hugging a six-year-old, dark-skinned girl—and smiling! That just doesn't seem like something the stern Delores Kelleher would do.

Almost Like Praying consists of three separate stories the curious journalist reconstructs: one about the family's Massachusetts and Long Island roots, another about the troubled early adulthood of the eldest son, and the last which details the relationship between Delores and that girl—and a startling revelation that emerges at the end.
