Synopsis

ReadersFavorite.com awards Letters of the Cloth its coveted 5-Star rating and dubs it:

“A powerful and compelling tale.”
“An intense dramatic story with a satisfying, highly original plot, and grand scope character development.”
“An epic drama everyone would enjoy reading.”

Rome, 1943. Nazis forcing innocent Roman Jews into death camps and hunting down Jewish sympathizers accuse 6-year-old Marcello Luciari’s father of hiding his best friend Chiano’s Jewish family. Despite absorbing the jolt of unfathomable brutality, Marcello navigates the callous tides of injustice swelling in rivers of hatred. Despite Pope Pius XII’s powerful influence, he remained silent as the Nazis imprisoned innocent Jews from within the shadow of his very own papal cassock. Inspired by his mother’s courage and outrage over the Catholic Church’s silence throughout the Holocaust, Marcello rises from the rubble of occupied Rome armed with spiritual idealism and venerable purpose. He shapes his destiny as a vicar of valor by standing up to misdirected Catholic authority and contemptable behavior shrouded under Church bureaucracy.
Chiano, meanwhile, answers his own call to human service, despite enduring violence and racism’s nauseating disgust. Courageous actions and human spirit radiating from these inseparable friends destroy the weeds of brutality choking the blossoms of compassion and justice. Their 75-year humanitarian journeys illustrates how the strength of courage overcomes the might of fear. Letters of the Cloth’s lovable original, vibrant, and memorable characters’ portrayal of deeply touching human relationships illuminate our strengths and weaknesses, and arouse our hope for goodness. This emotionally jarring and poignant story of virtue amidst a theater of inhumanity seizes your heart from the moment its enchanting characters dance onto page one, through their story’s fulfilling climax.
