From Booklist Wheelas' plot has been done in books and films before, but without the gay twist he gives it. Handsome, bright, good, sensitive Martine dePaul grows up in one of America's wealthiest families. His demanding father never praises him and wants him to go into the family business. His mother tries to provide the love missing in his life. Although popular and successful at a posh eastern school, his only solace comes from attending mass each day. Instead of going into the family business, he becomes a priest and asks for a parish in a povertystricken New Mexico community. And there he breaks his vow of celibacy with the 19yearold son of the richest ranch family arounda hedonist who is the foil to Martine's Christlike character. Although its tone is almost as arty as its plot is familiar, this gay version of The Thorn Birds is redeemed by setting Martine's strugglewithself against New Mexico's natural beauty and its poor people's struggle for survival. Charles Harmon Product Description Martine dePaul, a brilliant young priest, turns his back on a powerful and wealthy family's privileged world to become parish priest of an impoverished Indian pueblo church near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Caught in a relationship with a young male hedonist, the devoted but naive cleric is seduced into breaking his vow of celibacy. Devastated, Martine feels he must leave the priesthood. Into this struggle, played out against the timeless beauty of one of America's oldest cities, steps a benevolent archbishop who offers a solution to Martine's agony.
