The Book of Mychal cover

His death certificate bears the number one. On September 11, 2001, Father Mychal Judge rushed to the fires as quickly as those who fought them, losing his own life while tirelessly ministering to New York's bravest. "The Book of Mychal" recounts the colorful, astonishing and, at times, troubled life of the beloved Franciscan priest, including his struggles with alcoholism, the Catholic Church hierarchy, and his own sexuality. Daly retracts the footsteps of 'Father Mike' inside the fire house as FDNY Chaplain, inside his friary, and inside the chaos that often befalls New York...Culminating tragically on that fateful day at the Emergency Services Command Post of the North Tower.

"A Compelling and moving human portrait... If only each of the victims of 9/11 had a Daly to tell their stories." - Library Journal."
