Opis

Richard Michaels is a sharp, motivated, young political activist living in Seattle. But when he is informed in a meeting of political activists that he must accept that the movement has depleted all observed peaceful methods of change and he has to accept more radical means of change or he risks being forced to leave. He must make his way through the battles for peace that he fought for most of his life while witnessing escalating government violence aimed towards its citizens. He finds himself hiding from the authorities in order to preserve both his life and his conscience that governs both his actions and thoughts. After a highly charged meeting, he decides to leave behind the movement and the new rising violence in it. He goes on the run and ultimately winds up unknown, unidentified, and out of the sight of the authorities. Teaching in a small New England seaside town where he has highly charged encounters with a Mother Superior more than a decade his senior and with his gifted students more than a decade his junior. Richard befriends a nun in training along with some of his gifted students and while passing through, gradually wins their trust. During the year, they are together on the campus of a private coeducational school, their confrontational relationships develop into powerful forces that all are reluctant to alter. When Richard encounters a strange priest, he learns that the true nature of reality may not be what it seems.
