Fiction

Richard Carver had only been a Catholic priest for a short time when he met and fell in love with the beautiful Elisabeth Downs. So began a titanic tug-of-war between Richard's love of his God and his love for Elisabeth. Richard was to rise rapidly within the ranks of the church before and during the upcoming years of WORLD WAR II. The brilliant priest from America would find himself disguised with many names, attired in different clothes including a Nazi uniform before his secretive work for the church and its allies was finished at the end of the war. Richard had been destined for greatness. His greatness in the world's eye had come at a great price for Richard, however. The struggle between Elisabeth and his God would continue to the end of his much-celebrated life. Perhaps though if the script of his life had been different the deeds that the American Cardinal had accomplished during the Great War would have never happened, including aiding in the escape of Jewish prisoners bound for Auschwitz. The Calling above all else, is a story of life and its inevitable turns of fate destined for every living creature on earth.
