STAINED GLASS is the story of Rita Mendez, a devout Catholic and mother. One evening after returning home from work and the grocery store, she finds her 15-year-old son, Manuel, dead in his room. He committed suicide. It made no sense. Manny was a happy kid. He got good grades, was funny, and was well-liked by everyone. Rita demanded answers. She becomes convinced that her son must have been the victim of bullying, mistreatment, or maybe even sexual assault -- something. Rita sets out on a quest to get answers, and maybe even revenge if someone deserved it. Soon she sets her sights on Father Sullivan. She tries to go through the church, without success. So, taking matters into her own hands, she makes a terrible mistake that will forever lead to life-altering events.
