The Chronicles of a Homeless Priest

Sergi Toperoff, homeless priest, ex con and sex offender, was once a promising Harvard PhD. As he searches for perfection in his life, though, driven by disappointment and betrayal, he finds himself immersed in the roiling world of a Vatican II- era parish priest and in that of a hermit with the reputation as a miracle worker in Michigan’s Upper Penninsula. It is in this last role that he commits a heinous crime and he becomes a fugitive and then a prisoner. Closely following Leo Tolstoy’s short story “Fr. Sergius”, “Father Sergi; The Chronicles of a Homeless Priest” retells the story of a man’s quest for truth through the kaleidoscope of the last half of the twentieth century.
