Minor Miracle, by Al Morgan (Paperback)

Father Britt lives the routine, day-to-day life of an ordinary parish priest in the small New York parish of St. Martin's. He syas Mass, hears confessions, comforts the sick and the dying; he marries his flock, buries them, advises them -- and call the numbers at Bingo games.

The the miracle happens. At once the obscure parish priest becomes the central figure in a major new story. It is his miracle. He has to fight for it, for its validity and dignity, against the publicity men and a sceptical world. And so the Minor Miracle becomes a cornerstone of Father Britt's faith, as well as a challenge.

This is Al Morgan's fifth novel and has all the hallmarks readers have come to expect from such books as One Star General and A Small Success: headlong pace, incisive dialogue, pengent humor. Father Britt, the compassionate and underanding priest, is a character the reader will not forget
