From the back cover: In 1212 A.D. nearly 50,000 boys and girls rebelled against parents and Church to join a Crusade to the Hold Land...to win by love what their fathers had failed to take by force. But before they even reached Rome--and the Pope's betrayal--nearly all of the had fallen to hardship. Those who went on would pay for their innocent courage in Saracen brothels and slave markets.
