For 20 years he''s lived everyone else''s dream. Now he wants to live his own.no matter who gets hurt. Brock Stowolski always thought he''d grow up to be a priest. He''s spent the last two years in seminary, preparing for just that. Then one day he realizes he no longer wants the make-believe, we-trust-in-God, He''ll-make-it-all-right world any longer. He craves the real world-where men with ambition rely on themselves and their own labors to make their own fame, power, and wealth. Leaving seminary and a devoted friend behind, Brock plunges headlong into a career in design, determined to make it to the pinnacle of success.

But he could never dream where his life''s journey would take him.or what his crowning culpa-his life achievement-would be. The most poignant portrayal of love, redemption, and forgiveness you''ll ever read. By Morgan Jones, the author of The Thinker''s Toolkit: 14 Powerful Techniques for Problem-Solving (Random House) and founder of the Virginia company Analytic Prowess. Jones spent 36 years with the CIA, primarily as an intelligence analyst.
