Shades of Truth

Father Ernesto, a quirky, not-quite celibate priest, loses his way.  His rebirth is packed with surprise as he uncovers the complicated secrets he has created.    On its face, Shades of Truth is a love story in which transformative kindness trumps all else, a tale of love, loss and redemption with an unexpected and fulfilling ending.  From a more penetrating perspective, the book reflects the universal struggle with the issues of truth, reality and meaning.   Set in Charleston, South Carolina and the Isle of Capri, Shades of Truth is crafted as a thought-provoking story, ideal for book club presentations.   The author is a retired career clinical psychologist living in Charleston.  This is his debut novel.
