The Voices in My Head

THE VOICES IN MY HEAD

Charles is born into the American Catholic Dream. Father is cruel to be kind ("Charles was good this week. Charles was bad this week."), pitting him against his sister in the battle for affection. Momma, in her native Italian language, calls him piccolo Ges├╣ (Little Jesus).

In his personal battle of good versus evil, Charles turns to daydreams. Can he be saved? Seeking redemption requires more than good intentions. It requires luck too, the kind that places the exact right person in the exact right time and place. It requires love that has nothing to do with money and everything to do with finding a soul that has been petrified by lifelong emotional rejection.

A woman to the rescue? Or is the voice of a saint that does the trick? Or maybe it''s the voice of young political activist, or is it the voice of the Archangel Metatron?

Little Jesus tells his tale in the second person voice of "You" ... just one of the many voices in his head.
