"Lively and lucid."
-- The New York Times Book Review
"With uncommon insight and clear, unadorned prose, Philip Freeman
supplants old myths with a true-life tale no less wondrous....[A]
fine biography."
-- Tim McNulty, The Seattle Times
"Mr. Freeman's book succeeds where others have failed by giving us
a wholly human portrait of Patrick the boy, the slave and the
missionary."
-- Michael Judge, The Wall Street Journal
"Freeman's imaginative but fact-based reconstructions of
significant events in Patrick's life, such as his kidnapping, read
like the most exciting popular fiction."
