Summary:This is the story of a struggle between love for God and love for a woman. The reader is immersed in the whirlwind of passions, upheavals and feelings of guilt that overwhem Stefano, the novel's protagonist. What happens when a dream becomes a nightmare? Stefano is put to the test in a series of events that toss him from the seminary to a great love story, from Italy to New York, from a humble job to the clutches of the American underworld. The emotional disturbance created in Stefano's mind pushes him to re-evaluate the meaning of things, of life itself. For him, these are times of profound and heartfelt relfections on human relationships, on one's experience, on the before and the after, on the self and on the other. He asks himself: "Am I the criminal lying in this cell, or the shy, generous and selfless boy from the seminary?"--back cover.
