 Hello, I'm Matthew Clark-Davison, author of Doubting Thomas. My title character, Thomas McGurrin, is a fourth grade teacher and out gay man at a fancy grade school when a parent falsely accused him of inappropriately touching a male student. Anne Packer said, a wrenching professional crisis becomes the occasion for a man to reckon with everything that made him who he is, the loves of his past, his family, and the very job he's in danger of losing. Is it possible, she asks, to emerge from such a moment with hope and an open heart? That's one of the questions that I was exploring as I was writing the novel, and I'm also a huge fan of the San Francisco Public Library. In fact, the novel is partially set in San Francisco, and I worked on the book in title character Thomas' Neighborhood Branch, which would be the Golden Gate Branch on Green Street. I'm thrilled that the library carries the book, and it's electronic version two, and I hope that you'll enjoy. Doubting Thomas, by me, Matthew Clark-Davison.
