The Blue Hole - A Memoir (Paperback)

Dan Gilman's faith in the Church and his strong bond with his staunchly Catholic family lead him to believe a priest's claim that he will make Dan walk again after he is paralyzed in a 1972 diving accident. The priest, Father Edward Paquette, is not a miracle worker, but a pedophile dismissed from churches in Massachusetts and Indiana for molesting young boys. Protected by the Church, who considers him a risk worth taking, Paquette is passed on from parish to parish until he lands at Christ the King Church in Rutland, Vermont only weeks before Dan's accident Sometimes heartbreaking, often inspiring, Dan Gilman's frank and compelling memoir is a trek across the highs and lows of the life of a quadriplegic who struggles with memories of his exploitation at the hands of the man whom he believed spoke for God.
