Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Robert Souza, a blue-collar Portuguese boy raised by a poor widowed mother, gave up on marriage when he sat at his kitchen table and signed the application papers for the seminary. Though he had plenty of opportunity to change his mind, he was bound to the church. He thought himself strong enough to sacrifice. For a brief time, before his ordination, he strayed and considered marrying Shannon. But he strongly desired the union with God. Now, six years later, a priest at St. Justin Martyr, Rob once again faces the forbidden desire of his own heart when Jessica, a victim of a brutal assault, comes for counseling. Along with Rob's best friend, Lawrence - a priest with an artistic temperament and trials of his own - Rob and Jessica are forced to make choices they don't intend against the backdrop of a Greek chorus of gossiping priests and church politics riddled with suspicion and engaged in the battle for souls. Tongues of Angels provides 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 the times. Praise for Tongues of Angels Julia Park Tracey brings wicked honesty and scathingly hot prose to this soulful novel; with crackling nuance, she seduces readers. Tongues of Angels is both sexy and spiritual. - Jordan Rosenfeld, author of Forged in Grace
