He was being groomed by his mother for priesthood when at nine his brother made him out to be a liar and blasphemer. A scary incident involving a crocodile left the siblings at loggerheads. The father called Max a liar and thrashed him badly causing an estrangement that had far reaching consequences.
The historical fiction is based on the true story that I found while researching my partner's ancestry that I have published in The Restless Danish Immigrants: The Johnson Family.(less)
