Asher Lev is a gifted loner, the artist who painted the sensational "Brooklyn Crucifixion". Into it he poured all the anguish and torment a Jew can feel when torn between the faith of his fathers and the calling of his art. Here he plunges back into his childhood and recounts the story of love and conflict which dragged him to this crossroads.
