Memoirs of a well-loved priest, now deceased, from the Diocese of Victoria, telling of how he came 'from a privilged childhood through the turmoil of his teen years and the interruption of his education caused by his mother's second marriage, to his discovery of a faith within the Roman Catholic church.'
