Best-selling author Pat Conroy has achieved both literary and popular success with books such as The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini. His complex and often autobiographical stories speak with a passion and vehemence unmatched by any other modern writer. This is the story of Jack McCall, a man on the run from his past: the suicide of his wife; the destructive influence of his parents; even his faith in the Catholic Church. Weaving these emotional issues with his masterful gift for prose, Conroy shows one man's journey toward the knowledge that everyone carries a tragic secret equal to his own.
