Rome and Roam A Fiction
Romanus is a perfectly ordinary turnip farmer until the day he walks into a low barn door and sees the Pope.
Convinced he has received a divine summons to Rome, he sells the family cows, packs a non-functional compass and an upside-down map, and sets off on a sacred journey with his skeptical donkey. What follows is not the pilgrimage he imagined.
Lost almost immediately, Romanus wanders through villages, dairy barns, blacksmith shops, and the kindness of strangers. Every wrong turn becomes a test of faith. Every detour chips away at his certainty. Slowly, the destination that once burned so brightly begins to fade-and something quieter, stranger, and more lasting takes its place.
Warm, witty, and gently profound, Rome and Roam is a comic novel about the stories we tell ourselves, the roads that refuse to cooperate, and the surprising places we find purpose when we finally stop trying to arrive.
