This intimate kaleidoscopic journal takes the reader through the cycles of faith and doubt that typify the author's spiritual journey from his childhood and youth in Puerto Rico to his retirement years in the United States.

Jewish theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote: "The worship of reason is arrogance and betrays a lack of intelligence. The rejection of reason is cowardice and betrays a lack of faith." In this collection of homilies, Pedro A. Sandín-Fremaint treads the movable, often zig-zagging line between reason and faith, between faith and doubt, concluding that, before the inscrutable mystery of the holy, there is virtue in uncertainty. He writes: "I have learned to value uncertainty and unknowing as holy ground on which I can only kneel and take-off my shoes. To quote the great poet Mary Oliver, I have found this to be the ground where there is never proof, 'but neither is there any way toward disbelief.'"

En Huellas de papel, se combinan la investigación genealógica e histórica con la imaginación y la fantasía para construir la saga de una familia puertorriqueña a lo largo de dos siglos. ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Por qué somos como somos? son las dos preguntas que subyacen a este relato. Las respuestas que propone el autor, siempre reticentes y tentativas, sugieren que no nos conforma sólo la experiencia personal, sino también la compleja red de identidades, temores y anhelos que ha sido la vida de nuestros ancestros. La historia de una familia deviene así una interpretación de la historia nacional.
