Having written about his art before, the author now traces the life of Jerzy Nowosielski through the places he lived and worked, Kraków, Lviv and twelve years in Łódź, and every church he decorated, including the Greek Catholic church in Biały Bór he designed entirely. She talked to family, friends and witnesses. The book sheds new light on his Ukrainian roots and the split between a Catholic mother and a Greek Catholic father, on his alcoholism and his love life, and argues that if he was rejected anywhere, it was at home rather than in the West.
