A concisely written but harrowing account of the sexual abuse of a child, Colm O'Gorman by his parish priest, Father Sean Fortune. The novel explores his incredulity when he discovers that the Catholic Church not only knew about Father Fortune's predilection for boys but repeatedly placed young, vulnerable boys at risk in order to protect the reputation of the church. The adverse impact of the sexual abuse on Colm is examined through the fragility of his family relationships and his pain is exposed at having to confront the demons from his past. Colm is an articulate and concise writer whose courageous stance protected other children from further abuse, a painful but honest account ( )
