LARGE PRINT EDITION
Publishers Weekly / BookLife Review (2026):
“A psychological tale buoyed by slow-burn suspense and moral debate that pits a dying man against his father’s killer.”
Inspired by true events
A dying man has two months left to live.
Just enough time to demand a confession.
When twelve-year-old Chuck Grayson loses his father to what police call a tragic accident—a fatal fall in jail following an arrest for public drunkenness—he grows up believing the truth was buried with the body.
Decades later, as Chuck faces end-stage liver cancer, two revelations surface: a letter from a retired cop suggests his father’s death was no accident.
The man responsible now wears a Roman collar.
With little time left and nothing to lose, Chuck confronts him inside the confessional—week after week—forcing a priest to face the sin he buried long ago.
His battleground is the confessional. His weapon is the truth.
What follows is a psychological thriller of guilt, faith, and vengeance, where confession becomes confrontation and the line between penance and justice begins to disappear.
Set within an atmosphere of secrecy, trauma, and spiritual decay, Bless Me Father, FOR YOU Have Sinned asks the ultimate question:
What does justice demand when forgiveness is no longer possible?
