I have read his novels and heard him read from them, and with each experience I have felt my heart expand with greater love for the world. -David Keplinger, author of Ice
Every family has its peculiar struggles. So, too, with the Covo family. Nicky - a Holocaust survivor and Brooklyn psychiatrist - is shattered by a malpractice lawsuit. Nicky's wife, Helen, wrestles with the impending death from cancer of her daughter, Sarah. Nicky's daughter, Kayla, a gifted composer, confronts the death of her muse. And Kayla's biracial son, Jackie, raised as an Orthodox Jew, is mortified when Kayla finds his hidden icon of Jesus.
In the midst of these calamities, the family visits the women's monastery in Greece where Nicky's baby sister, now known as Sister Theodora, has lived since childhood. As the family reunites, the Theotokos (the Mother of God) intervenes once again to save lives, and the family learns to forgive, to move on through loss and gain, doubt and faith, dark and light.
