Cross Roads Drew O'Brien

In an adventure that stretches from Burbank, California to the Vatican, and to the quirky pubs and streets of Limerick, Ireland, Michael Dunphy possesses a cross purported to have been made from the silver pieces of Judas. An out of work high school principal facing mid-life boredom, Michael encounters secretive cardinals, a "white witch" in Limerick, and finds himself kidnapped by Irish mobsters. Back at home safe, he attends a conference of religious leaders arranged by his mother, Harriet, a charismatic leader of an odd Catholic cult. Michael addresses the conference about what he believes the cardinal values of humanity should be and all hell breaks loose. Join Michael and all the other characters in this humanist philosophy novel as they encounter the crossroads we all inexorably face.
