About This Book

They say the Holy Spirit is strong; perhaps not generally quite this strong. Father John Burns is a Catholic priest who gets transferred to a poorer than poor church in the middle of the Depression. Faced with overwhelming odds and a suspicion that he is being set up by a crooked Cardinal to fail, he refuses to lose faith and vows to take care of his parish by any means necessary. Armed with an old family recipe for moonshine, a spirit of adventure and a few items that may have "fallen off a truck" while driving by the church, Father Burns sets up a still in the church basement, piping the steam up through one of the statues of the saints in the church above. Is it a miracle when one of the parishioners sees the statue crying? Will Father Burns attract the attention of the mob, who doesn't like to share their liquor profits with a newcomer? Will his Nonna forgive him for going back on the promise he made to her on her death bed not to run hooch like the rest of the family did before? A comedic, yet powerful testament to faith - in both humanity and a higher power - Hundred Proof Miracle is a fictional peek into one of the most intriguing periods of American history.
