Eddie's Dream (Paperback)

A wildly imaginative tale about what happened to the seamless culture and dominant public image of the Catholic Church in the past 50 years, as seen through the eyes of a smart, down-to-earth priest named Eddie Danaher. Eddie is a member of the elite Christian Fathers, founded centuries ago by a dreamer/visionary named Diogo, a pilot on the great Portuguese caravels that plied the oceans in search of new lands. The drama turns when people tune out Eddie and his theories until, with a friend's help, he finally realizes that, where religion is concerned, he's simply tired of playing a one-armed traffic cop to other people's words and is now game to move on to the next adventure. It's a story that lets readers reminisce or get mad all over again, argue with the characters or simply wonder what's next, squirm or rejoice.
