About this audiobook

The protagonist of this compelling drama finds himself at odds with his family and his social class as he strives to live an authentically spiritual life. His struggle to reconcile his deep-seated convictions with the demands of a hypocritical world creates a poignant portrait of isolation and integrity. It is a masterful study of the heavy burden borne by those who dare to seek absolute truth in a world of compromise.
