About this ebook
When Harris Thatcher's father dies, the boy's journey into manhood is complicated by questions of faith, the meaning of life, and the capriciousness of death. After preaching the Mormon gospel in West Germany following the devastation of World War II, Harris returns home only to be drafted into the Korean conflict, where even more harrowing physical, emotional and spiritual ordeals await him.
