conduct of Father Bernard Preynat, <em>By the Grace of God</em> compassionately
illustrates the varying effects of trauma on survivors and their families in

mysteries of faith</p> | qFXLmhbJfXw | |

darkest chapter of Irish history in this revenge thriller. In 1847, a battle-hardened
soldier deserts the British army to return home to Ireland, where he finds his
country ravaged beyond recognition by the Great Famine. When he discovers that
his mother has died of starvation and his brother has been hanged by the
British, something snaps, sending him on a relentless quest to get even with
the powers-that-be who have wronged both his family and his country. There is
only one man who can stop his bloody crusade: a disgraced British army veteran
whose own loyalties may be more complex than they appear.</p> | 2pSGZt-mhSY | |
