Rossi has two cousins, Joey and Louisa; she’s pregnant and supports him, along with Jimmy and Arthur, a gay couple.Rossi’s condition tests his faith and his outlook. He realizes that no one has the right to make decisions about someone else’s body. Religion has rules that don’t fit everyone. He wrestles with his dilemma and he emphasizes with others who have problems that don’t fit the standard answers. Do gay people have the right to marry? Is abortion a good thing in some circumstances? Rossi is also forced to think about his future as a priest. Born in Detroit, Dolly Ogawa-Amsk lived most of her life in Los Angeles, and currently resides in the San Francisco area. Now retired, she has been a newspaper editor and publisher.
