The Face of Friendship: A True Story of Hope and Transformation

The Face of Friendship written by a Canadian Jesuit Bill Clarke takes place on a farm in Ontario and describes the community that existed there among the Jesuit Priests and religious Sisters and both laymen and laywomen. I have not finished the book as yet, but basically it focuses on the special friendship that ensues between Bill Clarke the Jesuit and one of the members of the community, Byron Dunn, as they share the same small room in one of the buildings on the property. Byron has his own unique background, gifts and difficulties, but the friendship is one where each influences the other on an equal plane. This book was chosen by a study/prayer group of which I am part, and I expected it to be a dry, boring type of experience. But thus far, it is the type of book that I can't wait to continue reading.
