Class of '69

About the Book

The military drab train hurried efficiently through the darkening valley.  An incandescent glow from within spread out on either, framing it as it slipped between the rugged peaks.  The two, young Americans strained to glimpse as much as they could of their new home but the glass pane tauntingly reflected only the interior of the car, full of the jabber of foreign tongues.  The brothers looked at each other but said nothing.  Drawing uninterrupted strength from the cables above, the train hurtled eastward, deeper into the countryside, leaving Geneva behind.

So began Kevin McAndrews life as an American high school freshman at a Swiss boarding school in 1965.  Share his singular experience; an experience that would transcend the decades to become legion, shaking the Catholic Church in 2002 to its very core.
