Summary
At the height of World War II, Father Frank Darragh, a young priest embarking on his new career in the church, struggles with temptation in the person of seductive parishioner Kate Heggarty.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: On the outskirts of Sydney, Father Frank Darragh is embarking on his new life of priesthood just as war erupts in the Pacific theater. American GI's pour into Father Darragh's neighborhood. Determined to shun hypocrisy, the earnest priest finds himself constantly at odds with his superiors, who frown on his efforts to rescue an errant black soldier and pay deathbed visits to the wayward. Frank Darragh persists, becoming his parish's most popular confessor, particularly among wives of Australian servicemen who confront an array of temptations while their husbands are away.
