About the Book
This is the story of Mr. L, an orphan raised by a devoted Carmelite nun, drafted as a skilled sniper during the Vietnam War. The narrative covers his journey from language mastery and Little League baseball excellence to the discovery of hunting, marked by grief, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
Witness the emergence of innate talents and left-handedness amid providential and self-inflicted circumstances. Mr. L transitions from boyish freedom in orphanages to self-sacrifice for a patriotic mission, serving the poor and disenfranchised in adulthood.
Woven into the narrative is the therapeutic alliance between patient and physician, inviting readers to reflect on the wonders of the human brain, the joy of love, and the gift of life. The story raises poignant questions about descending into an abyss or finding restoration through faith, hope, love, and forgiveness—an exploration of brokenness and a portrait of faith, grace, and joy derived from giving and loving.
