"As a liver specialist who treats hundreds of people with Hepatitis C every year, I would like to express my gratitude, on my patients' behalf, to Kate Genovese for authoring a book which portray the human drama that flows from the diagnosis of Hepatitis C." - Melissa Palmer, M.D., Author of Dr. Melissa Palmer's Guide to Hepatitis and Liver Disease Love between a man and a woman is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and spiritual exchanges between two human beings. It is also one of the most tragic, particularly when alcohol, drugs, dysfunctional families, and a life-threatening liver disease are thrown into the mix. Loving Joe Gallucci is one such love affair. It is the extraordinary romantic tale of Meg Flaherty, daughter of an eminent Massachusetts Senator, and Jimmy Romano, a blue-collar boy always trying to prove himself to the imperious Flaherty clan. Taking place over a period of thirty years, this novel chronicles the tumultuous courtship and marriage of a husband forever struggling with heroin and cocaine, and a wife whose fidelity to him throughout his addictions, and later, through his bout with hepatitis C is extraordinary. More than anything, Loving Joe Gallucci is a story of redemption, of the resurrection of the Romano family through the triumph over adversity, and through faith, hope, and unconditional love. In its final analysis, this book is a call to arms against a liver disease so subtle and yet so damaging that is could perhaps be called the AIDS epidemic of the 21st century. ______ Kate Genovese has been a registered nurse for over 30 years.
