Living life as a devoted priest is a challenge in itself, especially when the face of your first love haunts you. Putting that memory behind him, a Roman Catholic priest spends his entire life doing what he has been called to do: serving God and mankind. But what happens when he suddenly learns that everything he believed in and stood for is thrown in his face and he learns that he doesn't have a clue who he really is.

On his mother's deathbed, he learns that he was adopted as a baby--and the devout Roman Catholic priest is really Jewish! Does he accept this shocking information without question, or does he investigate to see if it is true?

As he digs into his past, he meets people from "the other side of the world" and reconnects with his past love, who helps him find his true roots.

This was a delightful tale, with surprises on every page. These two authors, in their debut novel, did a fine job of weaving twists and turns that show that life is never as simple as it seems. I highly recommend that you read this one. You won't be disappointed.
