James Patrick

Habits of the Heart

Fiction

“James Roseman’s Habits of the Heart is a significant, autobiographical story of the way in which a child of the sixties, a wanderer across the confusing terrain of modernity, claims his own past, the story of his forebears, confident in their own epic and sure in their faith.”

The Norwegian’s Diary

History & Biography

“The author draws attention to the experience of immigrants in America and the hardships of their lives. He reflects on what it meant—and means—to leave a familiar world behind and set out for an unknown land. Contemplative and discursive, this book, in drawing on the life of one quiet-living man, ponders the question of human destiny. In the end, though, is silence, the silence of God. Daniel Pawley has a novel take on his subject in that he himself is an immigrant, as extracts from his own diary illustrate, in the book’s epilogue.”
