Michael Hawkes was born in England to an Irish mother. She returned with Michael and his twin sister to Ireland only to be taken by the Catholic Church. They then trafficked him to California where he was abused by the most powerful priest in Los Angeles, The Right Rev. Monsignor Benjamin Hawkes. Michael's powerful inspirational memoir Isle of Hope follows his search for his birth family, and to find redemption and peace. A gripping and powerful story.
