Growing up during the New Atheist movement, Declan Murphy never quite believed in the existence of a higher power. But when life throws him a series of challenges, his lack of an axis mundi has him latching on to the one vision that feels right: becoming a Catholic priest.
This emotional and thought-provoking story follows Declan as he navigates the conflicts between his personal beliefs and his family’s expectations. Will he be able to reconcile this contradiction? And at what cost?
As Declan delves deeper into his journey, he will discover truths that will test his faith and his relationships. Will his quest to become a priest ultimately bring him closer to or farther from the truth?
