Pride, betrayal, forgiveness . . . and the eternal sea. The Prodigal tells the mystical tale of four people on Ocracoke Island whose destiny is tied to an abandoned schooner, thought to have been lost at sea more than a century ago, that one day drifts ashore. Marcus O’Reilly, a renegade Catholic priest, must confront his inner demons. Ibrahim Joseph, a Bahamian fugitive, must face his past. Aidan Sharpe, a fallen lawyer, struggles with self-doubt and his growing affection for Molly McGregor, a fearless towboat captain who cannot find the courage to love. They will all be drawn into a 2,000-year-old mystery that unfolds with the reappearance of the ship.
“A masterpiece of artistic imagination. Hurley’s eloquent, hypnotic style will have readers following, unquestioningly, to the very end.” –ForeWord Clarion Review
“Stirring, romantic, and evocative of the sea’s magic.” –Kirkus Reviews

About The Author:
Michael Hurley lives in Raleigh, North
Carolina with his wife Susan. Together they have four children ranging
in age from 19 to 23. Born in Baltimore in 1958, Michael studied
English at the University of Maryland and law at St. Louis University.
He is licensed to practice law in Texas and North Carolina. A lifelong
sailor, he obtained his captain’s license from the U.S. Coast Guard in
1992 and took six months off from the practice of law to work as a
sailboat charter captain in New Bern, North Carolina. Between 1995 and
2003, while practicing law full-time, he also wrote and published Paddle
& Portage, a quarterly literary journal on wilderness canoeing
enjoyed by more than 10,000 subscribers in 48 states. When he is not
sailing or writing or canoeing, Michael continues a hopeless quest to
prove that his piano teachers at Baltimore’s Peabody Institute were
wrong about him all along.
