Well, when you think about it, you probably can’t. But when a war lies behind you and mortal danger lies ahead, hope becomes a necessity, and necessity moves mountains. Or, if it turns out it doesn’t, the Vatican might be willing to lend a hand...
Tusitala is a hero who is anything but heroic, and a man who is all too human. And that is precisely why he flees a war that is not his, only to find himself forced to live inside an enormous lie of his own making. There he will fight for survival, for his truth, for God, and for dignity.
And in the end, he will discover that if you want to change the world, you must first trust it. (From the book’s back-cover description)
