Child of Wonder

Set in picturesque Calabria and Sicily, Child of Wonder is a narrative about an abused child whose unfortunate circumstances of birth and odd appearance mark him as an object of ridicule and scorn. The action of this moving story focuses on the extraordinary adventures and the mystical experiences of this young Italian visionary whose prayers and trust in the Blessed Mother both sustain him and transform him on his unique spiritual journey through Southern Italy. Blended into the narrative are the fascinating folkways and beliefs of the region.
