Produktbeschreibung

A young priest, Father Leauvin, is sent to the front during World War One in Verdun, France. His faith is shaken, not by war, but by love.
At the steps to his church, Father waves at a charming young lady. He turns and goes in the church where he gathers his things for his voyage to the front. One of his things is a camera, a Tourist Multiple.

He has a passion for taking pictures and this singular hobby drives his bishop, Bishop Manteau, to wonder where Father Leauvin's heart and soul reside, with Christ or with his personal pleasures.
The bishop warns Father to mind his feelings and his faith.

Father Leauvin goes to the front and is given an escort, Sargent Phillipe Bouchard.
Sgt. Bouchard is happy to have Father with him. He's happy because to escort a priest around means that he'll avoid going into no man's land. No man's land is the dead ground that lies between the German trenches and the French trenches. Machine guns, sniper rifles, mortars and heavy artillery have their sights on that void between the enemies.

Father is mortified when the German's attack and carnage spills over onto his cassock; he runs onto no man's land and offers help to a downed soldier. The soldiers leg is a meaty end and Father finds himself lost in the melee; his faith and courage flee.

After the attack, Father regains his strengths. He takes pictures of the wounded, dying and the dead for the sake of other people to know what happens in war. Afterwards, he admires a picture of a woman that he met and ponders life outside his calling.

Therein lies his dilemma. He's unsure whether to keep with his calling to Christ or give into his personal desires.

Every child starts off as a story teller. My family lived in west Ft. Lauderdale, FL out near the everglades. I was a fort builder, horse rider, hiker, adventurer, Disney park nut, party-goer, bad at math in school kid, 80's child--David Bowie-Let's Dance, Prince-1999, Billy Idol-Rebel Yell, Neil Diamond-America, all the movies that made us human--Sixteen Candles, Uncle Buck (GIANT PANCAKES), Duckie from Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club geek, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science (mall scene), Stand by Me - Gordie Lachance (You have to ask?), Foot Loose (Yeah!), The Goonies (LOVE adventurers), and a closet case hanging with my gal pal at Backstreets and at Cathode Rays on the "other side of the tracks! in FTL"

After that, I followed my dad's footsteps and joined the Air Force. I did basic training in Texas and then traveled to California to Asia to South America to Europe, an island in the Pacific, and an island in the Mediterranean.

I've been fortunate to travel throughout Europe in the last five years. My friend in Poland does not get Polish jokes! My other friend lives in Colmar, France where the Alsatian wines are brewed.

Life has a swath of stories to...
