On April 5, 1943, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor and theologian, was arrested in his parents' home and taken to Tegel prison in Berlin. In the isolation and loneliness of his cell, he composed his now-famous poem, 'Who Am I?' Now Paul Barz has composed a novel that posits Bonhoeffer looking back from his cell over the fateful trajectory that brought him to prison - and, later, trial and hanging.From deep immersion in Bonhoeffer's own papers and the scholarship about him, Barz's narrative imagines Bonhoeffer's looking back to his childhood and family; his education and turn to theology and ministry; his travels to Spain, America, and London; his leadership of the underground seminary at Finkenwalde; his growing opposition to the Third Reich; and his decisive involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

These letters record the relationship between Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his fiancee Maria von Wedemeyer while he was held in Berlin's Tegel prison. They show the passionate and romantic side of Bonhoeffer which has always been shielded by his reputation as a brilliant academic theologian.
