This was a great book - taking a good look at the crisis amongst Catholic priests that abuse children, while weaving a great storyline. Father Greeley is compassionate and kind and reminds us that abusers can be found in every walk of life, and that not every homosexual priest is an abuser! As usual, he reminds how happy I am to be a Catholic Irish-American!
