About this book

Divine Intimacy, volume 1, is a gripping work of historical fiction set in New York City between 1961 and 1965. The narrative follows Father Timothy Latham as he ministers to the city's poorest communities while secretly grooming altar boys in the South Bronx. While his social activism and the popular radio show, Monday Morning Catholic, earn him widespread acclaim, his true nature remains hidden from the public. His influence even reaches the Archbishop of New York, leading to a high profile role during the Pope's historic 1965 visit.

This post-World War II novel utilizes a unique first person narrative style, woven together by the voices of twelve men and the woman who fights to protect them. As a piece of 20th century historical fiction, Divine Intimacy explores themes of betrayal and advocacy within the church. The story reaches a climax during a prayer service at St. Patrick's Cathedral, where the priest's long reign of terror finally meets its end.
