Not content playing out the hand society relegates to someone beginning life’s second half, Montgomery St. John avoids, and seeks out, Near Occasions of Sin.
With crackling energy, the novel unwinds a narrative following the protagonist’s goal to uncover truth, discover meaning, and achieve inner peace. The author serves up one insightful experience after another, delivering quick-sketch portraits and in depth introductions of characters encountered along this odyssey.
Reared, and until a mature adult, comfortable with his Catholic faith, St. John resigned the priesthood as a young man, and married. After his wife’s death, the children grown, he dons the brown habit of a Franciscan Brother. But war catapults the Franciscan Brother back into a secular lifestyle. We watch him morph into an innovative risk taker who rolls the dice to satisfy an unquenchable curiosity in both the spiritual, and raw sides of life.
When St. John confronts a fork in the road, where he’s able to square only a handful of aspects of his existence, he seeks absolution by coming to grips with reality: He’ll reinvent himself one last time.
