Sparks ignited. Fur flew. When the dust settled, the most beautiful love story developed. They say that people come into our lives right when we need them most, and I know this is also true with book characters.Josh Roman and Gabriel Wyatt gave me a reason to get out of bed while battling cancer.

All I have to do is document the scene, tell the ex to cease and desist, and present the bill for property damages. Boom. Mission accomplished, another Quest success, and as a bonus, I get to keep my job.But then things get…complicated. Suspicious undercurrents muddy up my oh-so-easy case.

Hidden Mercy: Aids, Catholics, and the Untold Stories of Compassion in the Face of Fear


Michael J. O'Loughlin - 2021
    A young priest sees himself in the many gay men dying from AIDS and grapples with how best to respond, eventually coming out as gay and putting his own career on the line. A gay Catholic with HIV loses his partner to AIDS and then flees the church, focusing his energy on his own health rather than fight an institution seemingly rejecting him.Set against the backdrop of the HIV and AIDS epidemic of the late twentieth century and the Catholic Church's crackdown on gay and lesbian activists, journalist Michael O'Loughlin searches out the untold stories of those who didn't look away, who at great personal cost chose compassion--even as he seeks insight for LGBTQ people of faith struggling to find a home in religious communities today.This is one journalist's--gay and Catholic himself--compelling picture of those quiet heroes who responded to human suffering when so much of society--and so much of the church--told them to look away. These pure acts of compassion and mercy offer us hope and inspiration as we continue to confront existential questions about what it means to be Americans, Christians, and human beings responding to those most in need.
