Book Description
History comes alive in God's Perfect Scar. A survivor of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising finds himself in Auschwitz, working with a woman prisoner to plan and implement a harrowing mass escape. A former Polish lancer turned airborne trooper turned English instructor at the University of Warsaw finds himself targeted by the Kremlin-controlled secret police. Two brothers find themselves conscripted by a pair of ambitious rulers, each itching to fire the first shot in a war that will ensnare soldiers and nurses from America, Britain, New Zealand and Korea. An American priest, a former World War II chaplain, finds himself playing street soccer in Rome and plotting a rescue in Warsaw. Bullets and shrapnel leave lasting scars - as do polio, treachery and guilt. Painstakingly researched, God's Perfect Scar is the story of ordinary people swept up in extraordinary, history-changing upheavals, contending with unrelenting stresses and making life-altering choices. During his research, Johnson learned about Aline Gartner, lost in the mists of time and history. In the pages of God's Perfect Scar, he "brings back to life" this remarkably courageous woman. From Auschwitz to Cracow to Warsaw, London, Moscow, Beijing, Kaesong, Seoul and small town America, God's Perfect Scar takes readers on a journey that provides a different and broader perspective on major happenings that have been shaping history for the last 60 years. As with Johnson's earlier works, Warrior Priest and Fate of the Warriors, the pacing in God's Perfect Scar is brisk, the tension palpable and the outcomes unpredictable.

THEY SAY FIRST LOVES HURT YOU THE MOST. I CAN ONLY HOPE THEY'RE WRONG.My mom used to say that falling in love is like giving someone a loaded gun and trusting them not to pull the trigger. In other words, she thought love is a gamble, a Russian roulette, and I bet she spoke from experience. What am I supposed to do now? Give love a chance and risk it all, or ignore the butterflies and save myself the heartbreak?
