The Bride of Christ

This heart-rending story begins in autumn 1995 when a man from Derry city is hospitalized after an episode of manic-depressive illness.

The man who believes himself to be the second coming of Christ meets Paddy, his doctor - a woman who he comes to define as his bride - in this true story of love across one of life’s great divides

This book records how it happened from the very moment that their eyes meet across a corridor of a psychiatric hospital. It tells the tale of an unspoken and shameless love affair between these two young people, who so obviously adore each other, but who tread awkwardly on a trail where few dare go

Will Paddy free herself from the shackles of the “accepted norms” of society, overcome the taboos and do what her heart asks her to do or will she buckle under the pressure and walk away?

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Many will find it hard to believe that a doctor would fall for a psychiatric patient, but the truth may give hope to us all. But will it set us free? And will one man’s love for his beloved bride change the world?
