A fearless debut book about the restorative ability of real truth and love after the trauma of mistreatment.As sixteen-year-old Aidan Donovan's fractured family disintegrates around him, he looks for solace in a few bumps of Adderall, his father's moist bar, and the attentions of his local priest, Father Greg-the only adult who actually listens to him.When Christmas visits, Aidan's world collapses in a crisis of trust when he identifies the darkness of Father Greg's affections. He becomes to a team of new friends to help make sense of his life: Josie, the lady he might just love; Sophie, who's just a little wild; and Tag, the charismatic swim team captain whose own top secret agonies converge with Aidan's.The Gospel of Winter maps the ways love can be used as a tool resistant to the innocent-but can also, in the right hands, repair expectation and even faith. Brendan Kiely's unflinching and courageous debut book exposes the harm from the secrets we keep and proves that in truth, there is ability. And real love.
