Review

... The remarkable novel Fatherless is a resounding YES to fatherhood ... especially spiritual fatherhood. It reminds us all of the need to commit ourselves to the truth, to speak truth with courage, and to do so, always, with love ... --Thomas J. Olmsted, Bishop of Phoenix

Fatherless is an exciting, compelling and profound fictional account, but much more importantly, it's also an accurate and profound snapshot of the problems in the Church today, in the midst of a society steeped in contraception and abortion, and a cultural disregard for the sanctity of marriage and family life. This book is a must-read for all Catholics yearning for the end of the culture of death. --Judie Brown, President/Co-Founder American Life League
