Forgive Me Father

(High Impact, 2004)

Inner city slums are different things to different people. To some, they’re hell, to others, they’re home. To Father Pedro Rodrigues, the inner city he lives in is both. He lives and works there, and he also tries his hardest to help people trapped there to get out. Unfortunately for him, he has his own needs, in the form of sinful desires he shuts out of his life… but which visit him in his dreams. Can he continue to repress them in a city where sex, drugs, and violence surround him? Considering his path is about to intersect with a down-on-her-luck prostitute, it seems unlikely.

This dark and seedy tale mixes hope with cynicism and longing with denial. The result is a troubling story of sex and death, published in stark black and white.
