Description and Table of Contents

Description

He could tell jokes, perform tricks, pick locks, shell peas with his toes, dance on the tightrope and turn somersaults on the high wire. He owned a house and had a wife who was devoted to him. Life was good. But Yasha was destined to find God and to discover faith, and there was no middle road.
