No human event is more personal than death, no solitude more chilling. Nathaniel ben Ezra, too young to be barmitzvah, tries to diminish the suffering of Jesus Christ by offering him a goblet of orange juice, which results in an incident affecting his entire life. Nathaniel loves his own father, and cannot comprehend how the God of Israel could have been so ready to sacrifice his own son, or what could possibly be gained from permitting it. He feels contempt as well as hatred for such a god, who also drinks in so many prayers without heeding them. Nathaniel believes that God is a cosmic showman, who dances comfortably out of reach of his followers, blind and deaf to all laments and entreaties. If God exists at all, it is as a ruthless entity, not as a loving one. The book spends time with Nathaniel in many of his experiences, his brief love affair with an artist during the Black Death, the fate he is condemned to by Torquemada, a leading sadist of the Spanish Inquisition. The most significant of Nathaniel's experiences is, perhaps, of the Jesus Christ figures he meets and pities, but in whose godhead he has no faith, until he is hired by a self-proclaimed Jesus Christ living in New York to infuse the Christians of the modern world with belief in him.

"In 1956, Robert and Meryl Wells followed their dream to fly a small, single-engine Cessna from New York to their home in Buenos Aires, a distance of about ten thousand miles. With their children, three-year-old Susie and six-month-old Bobby, the intrepid couple set off on an unforgettable, intercontinental journey that took them over oceans, jungles, deserts, and the magnificent Andes mountains. The adventure included a night in the Colombian jungle with a drug cartel, emergency landings in the middle of nowhere, the unexpected generosity of the Peruvian military, threading the needle between two large ships off the coast of Chile, and flying blind through wing-bending turbulence around the mighty Aconcagua. They arrived in Buenos Aires after sixteen days of flying, becoming the first known family to make the epic journey in a single-engine airplane."--Back cover.
