Publisher's Synopsis
"The Sainted is an account as old as time itself. The story takes the reader through the journey of one young man, Chris Pella, who will need to face the ultimate test; good versus evil. The Sainted opens with the birth of St. Agnes of Montepulciano and how she came into the world. Incidents and stories of her life and the lives of many saints are woven throughout the book. The saints tell Chris of the sacrifices, torments, love and evil and how these occurrences have meaning in our heros life. All in all, Chris Pella grows into a happy, well adjusted typical fourteen-year-old except for one thing. He can communicate with the Saints. It all started with Chriss first vision where he is transported to Cilicia in the 4th century AD. There he meets Sts. Cosmas and Damian, doctors and twin brothers, who perform a miracle, bring Chris to a gathering of saints and tell him of his purpose in life. For the next few years Chris has numerous visions of saints who help him understand the faith that guides them. He views their miracles and the saints teach the young man what is expected of him. Chris carries this secret and it is only when the granddaughter of his close friend goes missing, that Chris realizes he will need to confront the hellish malevolence and come to terms with his purpose in life."
