SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Richard Strawn's book The Last Irish Priest ($15.49, paperback, 9781545622384; $7.99, e-book, 9781545624135), is available for purchase.

The Last Irish Priest tells the story of Vincent and Mary O'Leary and their weekend return to Northern California to visit with their old friend, Father Hugh McDonnell. The union of the couple and Father Hugh McDonnell had become estranged after accusations of sexual abuse of Catholic priests in their parish surfaced, and the couple returned after learning of the priest's removal from the parish. Memories flooded the trio as they reminisced about their time together, visited one priest's grave, and visited another priest in prison.

In this book, these characters also have discussions about weaknesses in the Catholic Church, sex and intimacy in marriage, and about how the Church remained silent instead of representing Jesus to others. What began as reconciliation for their friendship took them on a path to spiritual redemption and learning God's plan for us, all of which readers will learn from as well.
