Description:

Louie Olsen is a mystic, guru, lumberjack, holistic healer, photographer - and lover of children. Only in the eternal giant Sequoias, in "fotografi" and in the innocence of children can Louie find the perfection and divinity his soul craves. This daring novel, based on the life of a man who lived in California in the first half of the century, enters the head of a pedophile to reveal an enigmatic man who quietly and with a sense of certitude tells his story: of children healed by his herbal medicine; of children photographed by him as they played nude in meadows and streams; of children who were violated by him, often in the subtlest of ways; and of families who not only trusted but defended him when his actions were brought to light.
