The Cielo: A Novel of Wartime Tuscany

Ordered by the Germans to evacuate, a group of Italian villagers flees to a farmhouse in the beautiful hills of Tuscany. As the war rages around them, the refugees confront betrayal by one villager, fearlessly house an escaped prisoner, and survive a raid by the Nazis. A young girl finds love, two boys become heroes and secrets are revealed before an unthinkable event changes their lives forever.
Inspired by experiences of the author's relatives, The Cielo: A Novel of Wartime Tuscany is a gripping story of courage, endurance and the power of the human spirit. Among its awards are First prize for Fiction from the Council for Wisconsin Writers, First Prize for Fiction from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association, and First Honorable Mention in General Fiction from the Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Awards.
