In CRIME AND BENEDICTION Pat Beatrice Schultheis and Elizabeth Schultheis tell a story of tragedy and triumph. Setting off on a lengthy hike through the scenic mountains of Indonesia, the last thing the authors expected was to be suddenly surrounded and brutally assaulted by a group of armed robbers not just once, but repeatedly. What had begun as a fine day in December 1994 was the start of repeated suffering, being attacked by as many as twenty men who intended to leave no witnesses, and who continued to pursue them as they tried to reach urban safety. Here is a true tale of courage, survival, and triumph.
