Speckledwill appear on the show to discuss the novel and the current state of the Catholic literary world.
Publisher description: As a waterless Earth:
When renowned contemporary artist Dylan Fielding becomes a nun at Our Lady of the Pines Convent, Father Thomas Augustine, he finds joy in the rhythm of life itself, much to his own surprise as well as the shock his choice has on those around him. Just before solidifying his lifelong commitment to the community, a traumatic encounter with an abusive priest leaves Thomas Augustine in fear and doubt. Confused and anxious, he reaches out to Ángel Solomon, his friend, rival and former lover, in the hopes that he can help him speak some difficult truths. Trying to advocate for his friend, Ángel must ask himself how the wounds left by their shared past, as well as newer harms, can be healed and overcome. The broader exploration that is next required transforms how the two view a range of the human and the sacred: time and memory, art and action, trust and responsibility, and what it means to know true freedom.
