1) Father Jake is a charismatic priest. He is a rebel. Choices will bring his downfall. Ann appears to be a dear friend; but ultimately, will she be against him? Also, there's Irene, the woman who challenges his motives, his authenticity, and apparently, she's in the ideal position to make accusations. In his long ministry, Father Jake feels immune; this outreach has no fear. The independent priest contributes to the post Vatican II world; in every assignment or situation, whether it is the inner city neighborhoods, small rural communities, a Central American mission, or a wealthy parish, the priest finds his niche. But he is a diocesan priest and restrictions exist, and his primary adversary has influence and power. The reader is offered two perspectives/two voices, and may take either side or press for a broader dialogue. This compelling story is perfect for a book club or an ethics class. Deeper analysis follows when the first question is asked, How well can we understand action and motive when there exist a cultural or biased divide?
