Produktbeschreibung
Father Tom is a perfectly unremarkable man who, in his youth, chose the quite remarkable calling of Episcopal priest. At sixty-five, he is at the end of a long life, thinking of the future and, of course, the past. His wife Merilee has preceded him into eternity and he's torn between the need to join her and the desire to leave his mark at St. Ursula's. It might be hard to do. For some time now, he's simply been going through the motions, awkwardly playing a part. Tom resolves once and for all to change lives for the better and in a moment of inspiration, thinks he's found the way. Although he's never done it before and may run afoul of the church, he decides to take the confessions of his parishioners. The very next Sunday, he sets out to generate some enthusiasm, even recruit some volunteers. There are sure to be surprises and he quickly finds both his suspicions and his greatest fears confirmed.

Autorenporträt
The author was born and enjoyed an idyllic childhood in the wilderness of rural Connecticut. He looked for dinosaur footprints in the shale, fished and hunted as a reason to be outdoors and started a long career at the bar after graduating from UCONN and SUFFOLK LAW SCHOOL. His passion for language led him to become an essay writer, eventually expanding into memoirs and fiction. His writing draws upon a wide experience at the bar along with an even broader experience of people at home in Boston and abroad. His inspiration comes from all those who have suffered him over the years but mainly from a large family that has saved him from both cynicism and self-regard. Mr. Rowe's Swedish mother followed the custom of leaving something on her plate whenever she was a guest for dinner. That little tidbit told the hosts that her hunger was satisfied and that their hospitality appreciated. That custom informed his life once he was old enough to understand it.
