A trusted vicar. A hidden truth. A world not ready for either.
To his parishioners, Andrew Cowley is the picture of moral integrity, a charismatic, beloved priest guiding a small English village through faith and doubt alike. But behind the collar is a secret that could unravel everything: Andrew is a closeted gay man, serving a rigid institution in an era with no room for who he really is.
Set against the political conservatism and social upheaval of 1980s Britain, Sacred Shadows is the story of a man caught between devotion and self-denial, and the cost of holding both a congregation's faith and his own truth in the same trembling hands.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The 1980s Great Britain is a time marked by political conservatism and societal upheaval," writes author Graham Elliott. "The Reverend Andrew Cowley navigates the challenging waters of his dual identity as a dedicated up-and coming Anglican priest and a closeted gay man. 'Sacred Shadows' explores the intense and often painful journey of self-discovery, faith, and the search for love and acceptance within a rigid institution. Andrew Cowley is a charismatic and beloved vicar in a small English village, and to his parishioners, he is the epitome of moral integrity and spiritual guidance. However, he harbors a secret which threatens to unravel his apparently perfect life."Published by Fulton Books, Graham Elliott's book follows Andrew's emotional journey of self-discovery as the spiritual pillar of his community grappling with his true identity at a time and place that is not always accepting.
