Tongues of Angels

From those tales comes a novel, Tongues of Angels, an insider's view of the Catholic Church and the priesthood as it stands today. Tongues of Angels:Meet Rob Souza as he faces the challenges of the priesthood -- gossip, innuendo, church politics, public scandals -- and Jessica, a young woman with a secret past. Meet Lawrence, Rob's best friend, a gay priest who somehow becomes the third in this odd love triangle. While Jessica finds hope and healing, Rob and Lawrence discover that, despite their best intentions, a promise of celibacy is hard to keep. Tongues of Angels offers a peek behind the curtain of the priesthood, offering a funny, poignant look at Catholic angst and ambiguity. Based on a true story, Tongues of Angels is a canny, warm and surprisingly spiritual novel for our time.Park, Julia is the author of 'Tongues of Angels', published 2003 under ISBN 9780595278206 and ISBN 0595278205.
