Bread Crumb is the affectionate name given to a young Christian boy by a childhood friend who became one of the most powerful Orthodox clergymen in America. As a six-year-old child on the island of Imbroz; Bread Crumb's life is shattered by terror and religious persecution. In the face of increasing danger; Bread Crumb's father gives his son to the safety of relatives. But before he parts with his child; he leaves him with a dream. They odyssey begins. By age 14; alone in a dangerous world of Turkish aggression; Bread Crumb set sail for Constantinople. Arriving penniless and hungry; he is armed with hope and faith. Inspired by this father's dream for him; Bread Crumb survives backbreaking labor and conscription into the Turkish Work Battalions; where he endures arctic temperatures at the Russian front. Through ingenuity and will; faith and forgiveness; Bread Crumb escapes half a lifetime of poverty and oppression as his odyssey leads him to America.
