The Ethereal Road

Book excerpt: Giulio Monaldi is an accomplished financial advisor with a seemingly "perfect life."When abnormal test results hint at the possibility of terminal illness, he is urged to reconsider his beliefs and forced to reconcile his disturbing past, with the man he has become. Fearful that his day of reckoning is near, he fights to change his destiny and save his soul. In this thought-provoking, timely debut, Stefan Tomasi blends literary fiction and magical realism to offer a unique look at modern-era spiritual empowerment. Fascinated by the dilemmas afflicting the human condition, Tomasi explores moral questions, evolving attitudes toward spirituality, and the meaning of life and death.
