Sinner's Paradise

Martin Fante, a San Francisco journalist, is unaware that he is on the verge of a self-discovery. Martin's torment, for years buried beneath a string of sexual liaisons, an irreverent lifestyle, and his career as a radio news reporter, can no longer be ignored. But there's another Martin Fante, the little boy who lived with and loved and was abused by his larger-than-life mother. As his mother's health and his relationship with his aloof yet alluring girlfriend Sarah degenerate, that dark secret threatens to bury Martin instead.Scott Lettieri writes knowingly, with precise and sometimes outraged compassion, about the two Martin Fantes, as he wends between the past and the present. The result is a novel that allows the reader to experience how even death can serve the love that makes life worth living.
