Divorced Madeline O'Connor has the best of everything as
Chief Executive of an extremely successful lingerie
boutique, Felicity International, located in Manhattan.
Single and rich, she has life by the tail until she hears
from her nephew, Jonathan, of her estranged sister's battle
with cancer and imminent death.
Traveling to Italy to attempt reconciliation with her
sister Cassie, she is also given a chance to renew her
relationship with her nephew, now a novice at Monastero de
Saint Valentine. Events surrounding Jonathan's birth have
formed a wedge for over 7 years between the sisters. While
in Italy the gorgeous soft spoken Anthony Lamberti, a monk,
turns her world upside down with feelings she didn't know
existed. Maddie is faced with deep soul searching when
they fall desperately in love. When Carrie dies, Maddie
finds a new life she would never have dreamed possible yet
one that is most perfect for her.
Surrounded by the breath taking setting of the Vatican
and the Sistine Chapel, FINDING FELICITY, is an extremely
nostalgic story of torn feelings between sisters. Madeline
finds a consuming love with Anthony with the belief he is
in her soul, body and thoughts forever. Even though
Maddie's story will tear at your heart, it leaves you with
a firm belief in the mysterious ways that God works. I
thoroughly enjoyed this heart rendering story of a
forbidden love.
Madeline O'Connor was happy. Or was she? When she learns
that her estranged sister is gravely ill, she leaves behind
her life in Manhattan to be at her sister’s side in Italy.
There, she discovers an ancient Benedictine monastery that
accommodates travelers, and she decides to stay there, among
the monks. Everything in her life turns upside down when she
falls for Brother Anthony Lamberti, a soft-spoken Italian
completely different from the men she knows in New York.
Together Madeline and Anthony find love for the first time,
and learn that life and love always find a way. Loving
Anthony creates a new life for Madeline. A new life she
would never have imagined and yet is perfect for her in
every way.
