I just finished An Unquenchable Thirst. It kept me company night after night this past January. It is a true page turner! I loved the way you wrote so directly, no fluff, no explanations, just straight from you heart and gut.
Not having been brought up Catholic, and by a family who had disdain for the religion, complete with an Episcopalian holier than thou attitude, I was glad to realize that I had transcended my prejudicial upbringing and could read your book with an open mind.
I found your descriptions for physical and emotional intimacy both poignant and palpable, as well as your struggles either abiding by the RULES or breaking them, and ultimately aligning yourself with your truth.
Congratulations on such a fine book and a great accomplishment.
