Joe has always lived a somewhat interesting life. From the moment of his birth, his grandmother has been convinced that there is something special about him. In fact, she attempted to convince everyone she met of his importance. But there are far more important things hidden in the shadows of Joe’s family than his possible importance and his future as a priest. There is far more hiding inside Joe as well. The Holy Mark by Gregory Alexander is a story of more than just an Italian family making it big in America and the lives of their descendants. There is far more to Joe’s story than that.
The Holy Mark is a story of a young man growing older. A man who is celebrating his Jubilee, 25 years as a priest. A time that is marked with celebrations but not for Joe. Joe has secrets in his past, secrets that some people are desperate to unearth and those secrets have cost him his celebration. They have cost him everything he may have ever cared about and they still aren’t done. For those reading this book, Joe is an interesting character, someone that you find yourself uncertain about. Anyone can see a little of themselves in Joe, but they can also see things they wouldn’t ever want to see in themselves. The love-hate relationship you develop with Joe isn’t something that fades from your mind quickly. It’s something that stays with you for quite a while to come because Joe is different from anyone you’ve ever met.
