Persecution of Christians have existed for generations, but this story, based on fact, will tear at your heart strings as you become engrossed in life in Italy more than 400 years ago. The story begins in May 1554 when a tired man who appears to be a devout friar is actually a dynamic Protestant underground preacher. This story is true, exciting, suspenseful, and even horrifying as you meet the underground church in Duchess Renee's castle. Follow the growing love affair between Camille and Teresa, and discover a spy in the small group of believers. (128pp. illus. Masthof Press, 1992)
