It was in 1993 that Frank Bruni published his debut work,
A Gospel of Shame. In the work, he exposed a church administration only interested in concealment rather than compassion, as it protected pedophiliac priests.
The work focuses on a case in which a private detective from Rhode Island is doggedly trying to find a priest who had molested him three decades earlier while he was in elementary school. When he finally found him, he had not changed his ways, and it was up to Fitzpatrick to do his best to shine a light on a problem the church had been denying for years.
In 1996, Frank Bruni published
Consumer Terrorism alongside Elinor Burkett. This is work in which the authors wage war against bad service and shoddy products.
Aimed at consumers who have been ripped off, it teaches you how to go on the offensive and get what you deserve. It explains who to talk to the wrong and right way to complain and what you should expect when you present your case most effectively.
Half a dozen years later, Frank Bruni published his first political novel,
Ambling Into History. He chronicles the Bush presidential campaign and his first eight months as president. He goes behind the scenes and provides some insights into the presidents' sometimes overlooked positives and often chronicled weaknesses.
