STIGMA: The Rape of Faith is the story of a charmed-and charming-reprobate, Theodore Roosevelt McGraw, who is haunted by his past. It is the late twentieth century and Teddy is immersed in a religious education, whether he likes it or not. As Teddy matures into manhood, he eventually experiences a delayed recall of a violent episode that prompts him to embark down a determined path to achieve justice, despite the Catholic Churchs resistance. Encounters with the divine and the demonic launch him on a journey into an otherworldly American past, and further into the shrouded past of Old World atrocities. What he discovers will test his resolve and courage, against universal opposition, to bring these atrocities to light. The reader will be challenged as well to face outrages at the core of our culture, and decide who-or what-truly bears the STIGMA.
