Gemini Smiled

One day, many centuries ago, as the Gemini, Castor and Pollux, watch Isaac mistakenly bless Jacob rather than the intended Esaw, one twin turns to the other with glee and says, “But look. There. Down the road of time... There will be another changing of twins with earth shattering consequences too.” And so, Gemini Smiled, the story predicted by the Gemini twin, takes place in the late 1990's in a small Ontario city. Told through the eyes of 12 people who are directly involved or touched by the ordination of a woman as a Roman Catholic priest instead of her twin brother, the novel, as it unfolds, takes the reader into the various worlds and mind-sets of the Bishop, a newspaper publisher, a woman professor, the bishop’s administrative assistant, the twins and their parents to name a few. But the question is: can the blessing in this modern switching of twins, unlike like that of the Patriarch’s, be undone?
