Orphaned as a child when his devoutly Christian parents were
murdered on a mission trip, Matthew Yang overcame a difficult childhood to
become one of the most renowned young surgeons in the world. But after suffering a breakdown in his
mid-twenties, Dr. Yang shocked the medical world when he abandoned his practice
for the priesthood. His sudden conversion not only made him a scandal among his
colleagues, but also caused a severe rift between Matthew and his only surviving
relative, his brother Paul. Heedless of
the objections of his former coworkers or his estranged brother, Paul has
sought out postings where his gifts can do the most good, and so usually finds
himself in the most congested, dangerous, and disease-ridden parishes in the
world.
But even before Matthew's mysterious departure of the
surgical world at the height of his career, many of his fellow surgeons were
deeply suspicious of him. They suspected his eerie ability to perfectly mimic
any surgery, indeed any physical act whatsoever, after only a single viewing was
not an intellectual gift but a genetic one...
Matthew’s passion to serve the least of these has led him to
St. Jerome, where he will witness events that threaten to destroy his new
faith.
