In a new review for Alabama Writers’ Forum, I write about Charles Gaines’s book, The Passions of Saint Francis, a novel about St. Francis and St. Clare. Gaines spent much of the final decade of his life exploring and pondering this book and edited it in his final months. It’s both a spiritual and physical novel, befitting the searches and adventures to which Gaines devoted his life as a writer. Read the review here:
