Called
a book of the century, powerful, gripping, deeply moving, hauntingly
beautiful, masterfully done, a must read and a freight train page
turner!
An
intensely human tour of the great spiritual battles in the US Catholic
church during the late 20th century. Brian Gail takes us out into the
"trenches" and shows what life was like for Catholics good and bad
during this critical time. This book is a great opportunity for
Catholics to take hold of who they really are.
Meticulously researched, brilliantly crafted, Fatherless takes the reader on
an unforgettable journey inside Fortune 500 boardrooms and Madison
Avenue screening rooms, behind one-way mirrors in America’s heartland
and two-way screens in church confessionals, to the very peak of
Ireland’s highest mountain and inside the papal dining room of John Paul
II in Rome.
It is the searing journey to the center
of conscience, however, that marks Fatherless as the signature
Catholic novel of its generation. In its pages we meet flesh and blood
characters - noble and flawed, driven and seeking; each struggling to
achieve the American Dream ... discovering instead a uniquely American
nightmare. How each confronts the reality of ethical and moral dilemmas -
while struggling to balance faith, family, and career - goes to the
very heart of the Catholic experience in America in the late 20th and
early 21st centuries. This is a tale you will never forget.
