A Philadelphia Catholic in King James's Court

After his father dies, Michael O'Shea moves to Kentucky to live on a farm. Far from the city where he grew up, he finds that his Catholic faith is something he must explain and defend to the people around him. The story follows his efforts to hold on to his beliefs while adjusting to a rural household and an unfamiliar community. It is a book about identity, conviction and the cost of standing apart from the people around you.
