Overview

The book written by Carmela Mascio, teacher and writer, tells the human story of Lorenzo Agrippino, who passed away at the age of 7 from Ewing's sarcoma. A book-journey that starts from the love story of his parents. There comes a point, however, in which this normal and quiet story suffers an abrupt and dramatic halt due to the disease diagnosed in little Lollo. At that point the story is no longer just the chronology of a family life, but becomes the path, not chosen, but undertaken, towards an unexpected maturity of faith that, shocking the parents first, will lead all those who will support Lorenzo - during the 14 months of illness - to ask themselves questions that they would never have thought of asking. Thus, despite the deep pain for such a premature death, life, for Roberto and Elvira, unexpectedly turns out to be a still wonderful gift to share, in faith, with sincere friends, loving family members and the many people, who, thanks to Lorenzo, are changing their way of being for the better. A sweet, romantic, at times aggressive book for souls less prepared for the great pitfalls of life, a book to read to keep your feet on the ground while flying high with your heart.
