He did not know how to comb his hair, walk in line when he felt like running, or obey anyone's whim but his own. He was a stranger in a strange land. If it had been me, I would have found a way to disappear inside myself until the strangeness wore off.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicah was not like me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenri has been living within abbey walls all his life, first in the care of nuns, then as a choirboy at St. Luc's, not far from Paris.
