TRUTH BE TOLD: a novel of trauma, spirituality and transformation
Sister Nadia Marie jumped back as Father John’s body fell from the confessional with a thud. Her gun slipped from her hand and fell onto the stone floor as she stood stunned in disbelief.
When she entered the convent, Nadia never planned on purchasing a gun, let alone taking it to a church to kill a priest. However, the feeling of betrayal by her church urged her to seek justice for those abused by the pedophile priests outed in Pittsburgh. Her only comfort was found in the soft embrace of Sister Mary—a comfort wrapped in internal torment.
As a treating psychiatrist of trauma and a nun dedicated to God, Nadia presents as both fierce and fragile. She struggles with an array of leaving the convent, being taken to jail, or possibly hell. Yet, her passion drives her to claim her own truth and to “be a voice, not an echo.”

Exceptional Book!
As Ernest Hemingway said, “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places.” This book brings Hemingway’s quote to life. The main character takes you on a journey worth traveling and along the way you just might find your own strength, resiliency and beauty. Bravo!
