Tongues of Angels

Robert Souza, a blue-collar Portuguese boy raised by a poor widowed mother, gave up on marriage when he signed the application papers for the seminary. For a brief time, before his ordination, he strayed and considered marrying Shannon. But he strongly desired the union with God. Now, six years later, a priest at St. Justin Martyr, Rob once again faces the forbidden desire of his own heart when Jessica, a victim of a brutal assault, comes for counseling. Along with Rob's best friend, Lawrence-a priest with an artistic temperament and trials of his own-Rob and Jessica are forced to make choices they don't intend against the backdrop of a Greek chorus of gossiping priests and church politics riddled with suspicion and engaged in the battle for souls.
