<p><strong>When twenty-eight-year-old Maria Giura fell in love with Catholic priest Father James Infanzi, she had no idea how needy and angry they both were nor how complicated their attraction would become.</strong></p><p>His attention seemed to fill the void left by her fractured family, but he also seemed to be a sign for her to finally face the celibate vocation she&rsquo;d been running from ever since she first felt God&rsquo;s call. <em>Celibate</em> focuses on her ten-year struggle to let go of this priest, to heal from her childhood, and to finally embrace her true calling. Fiercely honest and tender, this memoir is ultimately a story about surrender, forgiveness, and facing one&rsquo;s deepest needs.</p>
