Synopsis :

1660 - New France is a howling wilderness.

Smallpox devastates a Mohawk village, scarring and half blinding a four-year-old survivor. Now an orphan, the girl earns her keep by making embroidery and wampum belts.

Despite war and massacres around her, she resolutely follows her convictions, refuses to marry and comes to deeply embrace Christianity.

A young French Jesuit, Claude Chauchetier, has one glorious mystical experience of God which he can never replicate. Despairing, he chooses the hardship of missionary work only to be disillusioned by its harsh realities. Claude is astounded by Kateri, in whom he finds faith in its purest form, a powerful faith that will not be stilled by death and continues even now.

The amazing story of Kateri Tekakwitha, our first Native American saint.

À propos de l'auteur: JACK CASEY originally wrote about St. Kateri in the 1980s but his devotion to her has deepened since then and he witnessed her Canonization ceremony in Rome. Casey is a solo practice attorney who has handled civil, criminal and constitutional matters for thirty years. In HAMILTON'S CHOICE, Casey dramatizes the last three years of Alexander Hamilton's life, and plausibly explains why he went to his first and fatal duel. Casey's other books include INTO THE HEARTLAND, a sweeping saga of adversity and triumph around the building of the Erie Canal (1810-1825) and THE TRIAL OF BAT SHEA, the true story of a wrongly executed Irish-American scapegoat. Casey graduated with honors from Yale University and Albany Law School and lives in Troy, NY and Raleigh, NC with his wife and editor, Victoria.
