Beautifully written and utterly transgressive. - Paul Simon, The Morning Star
Patrick, the first Irish Pope, is sure of many things: his faith, the sanctity of life, that he is a man, that he is celibate.
Then all he's held true is cast into doubt.
How can he act as the moral heart of the church when his convictions falter and his secrets threaten to destroy all he's achieved? Catholicism and modern morality are held in tension, and Pope Patrick must make once unimaginable choices. When the truth begins to emerge, the Vatican wants him silenced. The Pope's sheltered existence becomes a race of life and death.
