Book excerpt: "Africa, and especially Zimbabwe, is full of both promise and tragedy. Traveling from the crucible of the once-civilized world, itself plunged into the evil and insanity of Hitler's mesmerizing dreams, a dedicated and devout Catholic missionary makes his way through an era of change, touching countless lives. Father Odilo Weeger, CMM, has been one of Zimbabwe's outstanding personalities. His life spanned nearly a century of local and world history. He had a sincere love for people and he showed his concern and interest among the thousands of people from all religions whom he visited in hospitals or with whom he socialized and corresponded. Countless others heard him in radio discussions or met him in the course of his duties and community involvement. From the terrible Nazi period in Europe, to Southern Africa, and through guerilla wars that led to Zimbabwe's independence, this novel wades into some of Africa's unresolved struggles with injustice."--Publisher.
