About
A recovering alcoholic seeking to rebuild his life, Bruno Nolan suddenly recalls being sexually abused as an altar boy. Opposed by his younger brother, Fr. Mike, a rising star in the Church, and their old pastor, Fr. Sean Malachy, Bruno struggles to uncover the secrets of his past. Meanwhile, Msgr. Tom DeLaval, whose unspeakable sins threaten to undo powerful members of the Church hierarchy, flees, only to strike back with blackmail and black magic. With Cas, a beautiful and troubled artist and other abuse victims, Bruno must fight for the truth, his soul, and the lives of his family as they strive to uncover the truth. As dark and suggestive as today's disturbing headlines, The Harrowing is a modern psychological thriller.
