Mr Morris longs for a life of peace, harmony and normality, but sometimes it seems as if his dream will never come true.
Maybe it's because he is gay, maybe he needs to find the right man, or maybe he simply needs to escape the attentions of his Machiavellian secretary. Whichever way, whenever Mr Morris tries to do some good in a crazy world - whether it's volunteering to become a home help for two cranky old men, opening doors to the needy and desperate, or confessing his intimate thoughts and desires to his priest - he finds himself curiously on the defensive.
James Wilcox has created an unforgettable and endearing hero, who finds that love, comfort and generosity are hard to come by in the vast and confusing landscape of New York.
