""A poignant exploration of a son's grief and self-discovery, showing the power of a mother's love as a conduit of grace."" --Eleanor Bourg Nicholson, Author, A Bloody Habit ""Miss Sally's Son presents the reader with two starkly contrasting realms--the greedy, backbiting corporate world and the joyful, faith-filled home created by a quietly devout single mother. Slipping between these realms, Jack embarks upon a journey toward self-discovery and faith that is as profound as it is realistic. Curry's new book is a convincing portrayal of faith found in the midst of human brokenness and a reminder of the power of a mother's love across time and space."" --Fiorella De Maria, Author, The Father Gabriel Mysteries ""Thomas Curry masterfully transforms a much-used plot device into a spellbinding tale of betrayal, pain, and unexpected love. When corporate lawyer Jack Benton returns home from Berlin to deal with his mother's unexpected death, he encounters more than mere nostalgia. Instead, Curry peels back each layer of Jack's past to reveal a complex web of heartbreak, loss, and disillusion, challenging our expectations as he leads his hero on a painful journey to reconciliation, love, and the recovery of his lost Catholic faith."" --Michael Norton, Author, A Hiker's Guide to Purgatory
