Wow. Powerful story with a powerful lesson. The Church will always exist; wherever there are believers!

A lovely book of poetry written by an oblate priest who lived with the Dene people in the Northwest Territories of Canada. My favorite poem these days is "Truck Lights" and is from this collection.

This book has been on our shelves for several years and, upon picking it up, I learned that Scott's Aunt Margie gave it to his father for Christmas in 2000 (the year it was published). It is a beautiful story of a man - grandson to slaves in the Southern US - who lived to be over 100. A would-be writer from the Pacific Northwest travelled to Texas over a long period to interview him and hear his story. He hoped, but never knew for sure whether he'd be able, to write a biography. If you like Mitch Albom's stuff, this is for you! (Mom)
