Ro's Story: Modern Day Mysteries of the Rosary

Spirituality is on the rise, yet many are held back because they can't make sense of the mysteries of Christ. In this book, I address ten of the mysteries of biblical accounts using a compelling modern day story that will intrigue and stir your imagination, while blending in good versus evil, organized crime, the FBI and corporate greed. Readers will realize the possibilities of being able to believe, while also relating to the life of Christ. Young audience will put the mysteries in perspective, senior Christians will mourn at the grief of our main Christ-figure, Jesse, and the interfaith community will find a story that allows them to bond in goodness. Ro’s Story will answer these, and many other questions. How Christians could relate to these biblical mysteries in today’s world? Could people of different faiths come together in some beliefs? Could these mysteries help us find greater joy in life, while putting our pain and anguish in perspective?

Ro and Marge, single and childless lifelong friends, are leading mundane lives when an innocent solo visit to a movie theater changes everything. Soon afterward, both are heading toward single motherhood. As their children Jesse and Sarah mature into adults, their lives ironically become intertwined with powerful corporate greed, questionable law enforcement, local organized crime, and the over-arching presence of the church. Marge’s son Jesse, who has given his life to charitable service, finds his image destroyed in just seven days filled with enough action, deception, and suspense to last a lifetime. In Ro’s Story, public opinion and the shades of gray between good and evil and hero and villain become blurred as questions about Jesse’s biological father threaten to unhinge the control of the fortunes of a large media-company while mirroring one of the greatest underlying mysteries of humanity.
