À propos de ce contenu audio
Set against the rugged beauty of Canada's West Coast, this debut novel follows a woman who has seen the worst the world has to offer—and then tried to drink it away. A Canadian Armed Forces veteran haunted by combat and hollowed out by the bottle, she does the last thing anyone would expect: she turns to God. Not halfway. Not casually. All the way. She becomes a priest—her Hail Mary attempt to come in from exile from the human race.
What follows is a journey as unlikely as it is deeply human—equal parts sacred and profane, devastating and laugh-out-loud funny. Because the road from rock bottom to the pulpit is anything but a straight line, and the collar doesn't quiet the demons; it just gives them better seats.
Laced with sharp Canadian commentary, dark humour, and hard-won depth, this is a story about alienation, addiction, faith, and the stubborn, messy search for community, healing, and love. Come along for the ride—and find out if she finds what she's looking for.

"If you like your priests and their sermons filled with comfortable, pious assertions, if your soul cries out for order and propriety, you might not warm up to Christine Wright—but I did. Readers out there, hang on for a dazzling ride and a howling good time. This is a novelist's debut to remember." —DAVID CARPENTER, award-winning author of Welcome to Canada and The Gold
