Founded in 1999, Lilyfield Press is a Nashville-based independent publisher dedicated to literary fiction grounded in the Catholic faith.
A Philadelphia Catholic in King James’s Court

After the tragic death of his father, Michael O’Shea travels from his native Philadelphia to rural Kentucky for the summer. In this land of tobacco farming, bluegrass music, and devout fundamentalist Christianity, he is compelled to explain and justify the Catholic faith. His only defense, the Bible. 

Join Michael on an Amish-style farmstead as he learns to milk a cow, harness a horse, disk a field, and harvest hay with a team instead of a tractor. Will he discover the truth about the papacy, the Eucharist, and devotion to Mary in Sacred Scripture?
