Book description
For two years, Brother Pete has lived as a monk in a rundown abbey on
the outskirts of the city. He has run away from his life only to find
himself among a group of outcasts and oddballs, from a former child star
who's seen better days, to an old abbot who makes no secret of his love
for drink and his hatred for almost everything else. It's not exactly
what Pete had in mind. Then one day a stranger arrives and throws
everything off balance. Soon, it seems, Brother Pete will need to face
his own past if he wants to find out whether this mysterious visitor is
a danger or a savior. Based on the prestigious Open Door Series,
originally designed for adult literacy in Ireland, these books confirm
the truth that a story doesn't have to be big to change our world.
