Alex Moon Peoples knows he's one of the walking wounded. As an
international journalist, he knows, too, that no one wins a war on
terrorism. Having witnessed one massacre, famine, epidemic, or
civil war after another during his years in Africa, he dreams every
night children are starving to death and it is up to him to save
them. Returning to the States has only increased his anxiety. When
friend Paul invites him to visit one of the poorest, most war-torn
countries in South America to report on a potentially
life-affirming narrative encoded on an ancient, broken urn, he
feels compelled to go. What he finds will change his life.
A story of redemption as much as discovery-the chronicle of an
idealist consumed with hatred, a fanatic disgusted by fanaticism, a
man who longs to love but who struggles each day just to heal his
own brokenness-"Searching the Andes for Albert Schweitzer" probes
the mysteries of the human heart.
