The story of Brother David: about his thoughts and dreams, people
and places around him, existing both in the now and the past.
A Franciscan friar, David is content in his life but continually
searching for something unknown – as if he were attempting to make a jigsaw
without having the picture to show the finished image, and not knowing whether
the piece he is picking up fits his jigsaw or someone else’s.
Set in North Yorkshire, the friary has many comings and goings, and
David is very much part of this. He loves to wander, in the woods and moors –
but also in his thoughts. A chance meeting and a string of curious events
sparked David’s imagination and this searching journey seemed to run parallel
to his own, at times more than overlapping and also challenging his beliefs.
This is a story, although some of the place names are familiar and
the characters are more typical than real. We are all on a long journey home
and although some of this journey must be on our own, others have often been
there before us..

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
A Yorkshire man, in love with the
moors and writing his fist small novel. He has been telling stories for many a
year, being brought up in this tradition – and finds a way to make them
relevant to our everyday life. It seems there is much we can learn about
ourselves, when we reflect on things gone by.
The writing of the book was a
journey in itself, taking longer than expected, but perhaps that was the way it
needed to be. As Brother David remarked; "We need an ending, to see where
we are going."
