NEW RELEASE
In the summer of 1941, shipbuilder Joe Felice answers the call to join the war effort. He volunteers as an air raid warden in the newly created Office of Civilian Defense. Joe and his buddies patrol the streets of Dory Harbor, Massachusetts, during the mandated blackouts.
At the end of a midnight shift, Joe follows a sliver of light from inside the local barber shop, intending to issue a citation to the violator. Instead, he stumbles across the body of his friend and fellow warden, Frank Costello. Desperate to get justice for Frank, and clear his name, Joe persuades his college-student daughter to help him investigate.

RECENT EVENT

It's 1965, and tough to stay conservative, even for a nun. When 28-year-old Sister Francesca leaves her small town convent in upstate New York to study theology at a large university in the Bronx, she expects to face demanding professors and challenging classes; she doesn't expect to become entangled in the controversies surrounding Vatican II. What she least expects is involvement in the mysterious death of her new Mother Superior. Was the old nun a victim of greedy neighborhood businessmen? Or was she simply in the way of unstoppable changes in the Church? As Sister Francesca investigates, she must come to terms with the changing world around her, a challenge to both her faith and her vows. |
