THE HESTER STREET KIDS...
Set in New York’s Little Italy in the 1950’s, this character-driven drama is mysterious and sensual. It weaves lies with love, treachery with truth, and explores the ultimate meaning of moral fortitude, honesty, passion, and loyalty.
The story incorporates contemporary pleasures: a love story, spice, family secrets, and crime investigation. But its underlying message is one of moral choices. It also gives a historic glimpse of the 50s. Readers will find themselves on a nostalgic journey back to the postwar time of economic growth.
This work does not glorify the mob like so many others have done. It is a saga that talks to the plight of Italian American immigrants striving for a living in the new world under the thumbs of the mafia.
SCHISM, Something is Amiss in Heaven Again!
A spiritual fantasy with profound implications, “Schism”, joins Obe and Tony who fare from cultures and generations centuries apart at the highest level of Purgatory, then together through the heavenly realm, with flashbacks and earthly visits to the back woods of North Carolina, Georgia at the beginning of the civil war, and 60’s New York.
This character-driven drama weaves doubt with love and mistrust with truth, exploring the ultimate meaning of moral fortitude, acknowledgement of, and trust in God.
An inspirational diorama of a journey to faith, one that talks to the unanswered questions about humanity’s free will, God’s existence, His motives and His tolerance of evil. Its underlying message is one of moral choices and trust. It also gives an entertaining fantasy glimpse of what heaven looks like and the magical things that happen there.
