by Paul S. Meitner (Author)
In the stifling August heat of the summer of 1661, an aged French priest vanishes without a trace in the wilds of Wisconsin.
In the present, two hunters discover his remains perfectly preserved in a peat bog near Medford, Wisconsin. As Le Père's journey unfolds from the cathedral of Rouen to the wilds of Huronia, the present-day investigation forces those who discovered him to wrestle with the meaning of his life and their discovery. What is the legacy of Le Père? Was he a martyr or villain? A saint bringing spiritual freedom or an oppressor bringing tyranny?
Père is a spiritual meditation wrapped in historical fiction and a modern-day crime procedural. It asks the question: What is the place of Christian faith in a world hostile to its message?
