FRANK DELANEY promotes Shannon.

In the summer of 1922, a young American priest named Robert Shannon arrives in Ireland in search of his soul. Shell-shocked by what he saw as a chaplain with the Marines in Normandy, and demoralized by the corruption he encountered in the Boston Archdiocese, Shannon is troubled. Stepping ashore, he is thrust into Ireland's deepest issues and most profound traditions. Taking him deep into the country's complicated heart, this remarkable journey challenges and changes Shannon.
