The back-story of how August Turak's $100,000 award-winning essay, "Brother John," came to be written. Life at a monastery is not as tranquil as it may seem on the surface. The monks act as a mirror for one another constantly, creating the tension necessary for personal transformation. A look in the proverbial mirror, provided unintentionally by the kind act of a monk on Christmas eve, led to a deep personal re-evaluation that becomes the center of the Brother John essay.
