About this ebook

This memoir recounts how veteran journalist John A. Torres was able to find his way back to God through heartbreaking assignments and reporting from disaster sites around the world. During poignant and amusing recollections from his childhood in the Bronx, Torres tries to pinpoint what caused him to fall so far from his faith and how he struggled with the hole in his life. The book takes the reader along a journey to faith as Torres reports from Indonesia only days after the tsunami, from the AIDS pandemic in Africa, the execution chamber of a child killer, and from the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
