5. Great Expectations by Vinson Cunningham
6. Erasure by Percival Everett
7. Demian by Hermann Hesse

Some of the fiction I read in 2024 that stuck with me:

1. Prophet Song by Paul Lynch
2. Saint Sebastian's Abyss by Mark Haber
3. Change by Édouard Louis
4. Ways and Means by Daniel Lefferts

At Outreach, I wrote an appreciation of Sister Carol's life and ministry. 5/5 outreach.faith/2024/11/reme...

Carol's nephew emailed to let me know of her passing and to share with me that a copy of Hidden Mercy had been included in a memorial at her funeral Mass. He thanked for helping him and the rest of his family come to know his aunt better. 4/5

I was heartened to hear how meaningful she had found the whole experience of sharing her story with a wider audience and I was so happy to be able to tell her in person how much her work meant to an entirely new generation of LGBT Catholics. 3/5

When Hidden Mercy was published, I was fortunate to embark on a book tour that took me to three dozen cities. During one of those talks, I made time to visit Carol and thank her for all her help with the project. 2/5
