Pistaco : a tale of love in the Andes Cover Image Book

Pistaco : a tale of love in the Andes / Lynn F. Monahan.

Monahan, Lynn F., (author.).

Summary:

"Steven McMahon, a young American struggling to reconcile his priestly vocation with his very human desire for love and intimacy, flees to Peru on mission, thinking he will more readily find serenity there. In the high sierra of the Andes mountains he meets a young school teacher fleeing from some demons of her own. They both come to love and respect the campesinos they meet in a pueblo on the edge of civilization, and soon find themselves entrapped between a harsh military junta and Shining Path guerrillas who threaten mayhem across the mountain countryside. Caught in the harsh shadows of this historic struggle between a brutal authority and ungodly acts of terror, haunted by the ghostly specter of Pistaco, a mythical being once believed to feed on the unwary, they discover the meaning, and the price, of love."--Publisher.
