註釋A Gentle Fury is a vivid, exciting novel of a young priest who suddenly finds himself thrust into a kind of life that is completely foreign to his background and experience.The brilliant Father Paul Thornton, trained for the scholarly and rewarding career of teaching seminarians, is assigned by his Bishop to one of the worst slum areas of Upton City in order to gain practical experience. He reluctantly accepts his appointment, but before long is swept up into the life stream of his sadly depressed parishioners. The neighborhood, plagued with all the horrors of slum living, is saturated with narcotics traffic. The situation comes to the boiling point when a young boy dies of an overdose of self-inflicted heroin. The tragedy of it unleashes an outraged fury in this otherwise gentle priest, who then unwittingly adds to their burdens in his efforts of help.How he comes to terms with his parishioners and, more importantly, with himself makes this an absorbing, heart-warming, and inspirational story.
