Lonesome Road - Paperback

by Timothy P. Schilling (Author)

When are you truly grown up? How do you finally become the person God made you to be? In a gentle, reflective account that does not spare himself, Timothy P. Schilling explores these questions while recounting his coming of age as the son of a traumatized war veteran. His memoir Lonesome Road takes us first west, from Indiana to Washington State, and then east, to Princeton University and a Catholic seminary in Europe. It underscores the complexity of conversion, a process that uses everything from a person's past and every desire that lives within them.
