STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, June 7, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Emmaus Road Publishing announced today it is the new publisher for best-selling author Brian J. Gail's "American Tragedy in Trilogy."

Publisher Mike Sullivan said: "Brian Gail's first two books -- 'Fatherless' and 'Motherless' -- have become something of a sensation in Catholic circles throughout the country. 'Fatherless' is now sold in over 20 countries. The demand for the second book, 'Motherless,' is off the charts. We're finalizing new editions for both books and plan to re-release 'Motherless' on June 24. 'Childless,' the final book in the series, is scheduled for release in early fall."

"In a remarkably captivating manner 'Motherless' depicts our troubled age as it is and as it will continue to be unless we seek the help of the Mother of God." -- Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, Prefect, Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura

"'Motherless' is alive with vivid characters, wonderful dialogue and real issues. From start to finish you can't put it down." -- Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver

"Fiction has long served as a powerful medium for social criticism and for issuing warnings rooted in a profound concern for fundamental justice and moral truth. Are contemporary fiction writers up to the task? In 'Motherless,' Brian J. Gail proves that he certainly is." -- Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence Princeton University
