"When Father Anselm meets Kate Seymour in the cemetery at Larkwood, he is dismayed by her allegations about Father Moore, the man who shaped his own vocation. Even more disturbing for Anselm is the old man who has accompanied her, standing with his head bowed, weeping." "During the slaughter of Passchendaele in 1917, an Irish soldier faced a court martial for desertion. On the panel was a young Captain, Herbert Moore, charged with a responsibility that would change the course of his life. So Anselm embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets Father Moore had always kept hidden."--BOOK JACKET.
