Publisher's Summary

"Len Cooper is ample proof that every American black man's story is not the same. He has been a boy in brutal segregated Alabama and an invisible homeless man in the nation's capital. He sought holiness and comfort, entering a monastery to become a priest at a time when the Catholic Church was in denial about racism, homosexuality, and robed predators. Still, Cooper rises to become a writer and a world traveler who finds solace and home in a land that is supposed to be foreign: Israel." (Patrice Gaines, author, Laughing in the Dark: From Colored Girl to Woman of Color, a Journey from Prison to Power)
