Early within Pope Francis' reign, in a city in Northern California, amidst our modern secular society - Alcoholism, politics, sex abuse scandals, plight of the poor and isolationism - how does a Catholic priest navigate through all of this?
Walk alongside Fr. Dom, a 65-year-old diocesan parochial vicar, during six months of his life, as he goes through a bit of an existential crisis. Step into his thoughts, memories and dreams...
FOR AGES 13 AND UP - Occasional strong language. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
NINE years from inception to completion = 7 ½ years of research, writing and rewriting, then 16 months of illustrating (and still revising) the final pages. 68 episodes = 426 pages. This story was drawn from research, as well as from the lives of actual priests. It is as honest a portrayal as I could make it, and has been a true learning experience and labor of love.
This 68-episode story is available complete on the sites linked above. The next step is to get it published in print and ebook (which will be 460 pages). Stay Tuned!
