Review "I absolutely loved following each mans story, background, and bias as situations arose with members of the church and their student groups. It was heartbreaking and tender, packed with real and raw emotion that just pulled at your heartstrings and gave the reader a lot to think about. Such an inspired story that I couldnt put down!" -Ash Knight, author"I absolutely devoured this story! It provides an inside look at a group of young seminarians trying to navigate through the duplicity, corruption, hypocrisy, and traumatic experiences of the religious systems perpetuated by the Catholic Church. I loved the different points of view of the characters during the 1980s and their insights on love, self-identity, and self-realization... the struggle between good and evil is revealed within the delusion perpetrated by the powerful men of the Vatican City... a must-read!" -Lali A. Love, award-winning best-selling author"DellOlio flawlessly details the conflict of being gay and Catholic in an intolerant time. He opens a window into priesthood, Church politics, and corruption. This book is perfect for anyone dreaming of something more, finding the strength to believe in yourself, or searching for where you belong. One of the easiest five stars Ive ever given." -Halo Scot, author"A complex journey of immersive self-discovery between faith and identity. A great read, talented author." -Rory Michaelson, author"This book is many wonderful things. I highly recommend this for those who want an authentic account of growing into self." -Anya Pavelle, author"Good storytelling, a wide range of characters and a heartbreaking tale. I felt intense anger at the Roman Catholic church one minute, and pure joy at a love story the next." -Conor J. Bredin, author"This was a fascinating journey. Take the journey with these three men and see what you think for yourself. Your conclusions may surprise you as they did me." -Starred Review, 5/5"A deeply original and honest book that took me into a world I could never know. What a terrific book." -Chase Hackett, author"I wasnt disappointed. I loved the characters; I enjoyed following their many adventures together." -S.S. Long, author"A multi-layered treat. This book was a fascinating romance-against-the-odds and Id recommend it to anyone who is LGBTQ+ friendly." -Matt Adcock, author"The struggle between faith and sexuality is on full display in this dramatic story.
