The memoir of Fr Jerry Daly, a member of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart order who was active as a priest and missionary for over fifty years. The book begins by charting Fr Daly's childhood and upbringing in Cork, Ireland. Following his ordination, Fr Daly embarks on his profession as a missionary. This work takes him to diverse parts of the world, from battling illness in Indonesia, to dealing with political tensions in the UK during the Troubles, to witnessing the atrocities of the apartheid regime in South Africa. These reminiscences about Fr Daly's life are interspersed with his views on a range of topics, including marriage, alcoholism and, most importantly, the state of the contemporary Catholic Church. With B&W plates.
