Nick Perry Interviewed by The British Columbia Review
YouTube caption: In Coquitlam, fiction author Nick Perry juggles teaching in local schools and his own writing. His recent novel Broken Water is a realization of his aspirations as a writer, but he knows he's certainly not going to stop there, and he knows Canada has many stories to tell, and he just might tell some of them.
Growing up during the New Atheist movement, Declan Murphy never quite believed in the existence of a higher power. But when life throws him a series of challenges, his lack of an axis mundi has him latching on to the one vision that feels right: becoming a Catholic priest.
This emotional and thought-provoking story follows Declan as he navigates the conflicts between his personal beliefs and his family’s expectations. Will he be able to reconcile this contradiction? And at what cost?
As Declan delves deeper into his journey, he will discover truths that will test his faith and his relationships. Will his quest to become a priest ultimately bring him closer to or farther from the truth?
And what of the biggest question of all?
Why would an atheist ever want to become a priest?
