Summary

Born in Twelfth Century Italy, Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone grew up a headstrong child of privilege, fought ruthlessly as a soldier, was held as a prisoner of war, and eventually emerged on the world-stage as an inspiration to millions around the world. Price traces the spiritual evolution of an ordinary man who strives to realize the extraordinary within himself and brings the legend of St. Francis to life with all of the violence and action, romance and intrigue of its time—and of the tumultuous times in which we find ourselves today.

Author Biography

Eyre Price was born in Syracuse and raised outside of Scranton, but thinks of America's highways as his home. He's travelled the Blues Highway all the way from Bob Dylan's boyhood Minnesota home to Professor Longhair's shrine in New Orleans. The result of these travels was BLUES HIGHWAY BLUES, a debut novel that reflects Price's passion for all American music, from the Delta's blues to Seattle's grunge. Now he's turned his attention to the life and times of Francis of Assisi—the man, the soldier, the saint. And the sinner.
