The 1970s in South America was a time of hope and a time of despair. A time of hope because, in the wake of the Medellin Conference, a church that had traditionally sided with the powerful was now taking its stand with the little ones. A time of despair because brutal military dictatorships reacted violently to the new alliance. This moving story follows the fortunes of ordinary people-Indians, priests, Campesinos-trapped in the web of history. A small decision in the life of the indigenous Jos Inga leads to consequences that are great and will impact the lives of many in ways that he could not have imagined. James O'Halloran is a Salesian priest who has worked for many years in Africa and South America.
