When Franco, a weary Italian soldier who's seen some of the worst of World War I, stumbles onto the Martellino vineyard, he's looking for work not love. But he finds that and much more with Isabella, the feisty young woman who works there.

Franco pours himself into the vineyard, trying to create a wine that will save it from financial ruin and rescue him from his dark memories of war. But it's not easy when Mussolini's evil shadow continues to loom over all of Italy. It's even harder when Susanna, the vineyard's matriarch, invites that shadow to the vineyard with her involvement in Fascist politics and one very sinister political operative.

Influenced by the teachings of A Course In Miracles, The Walls of Lucca is historical fiction that shows readers the power of love and forgiveness in the face of evil. Compelling, colorful characters populate an authentic, inspiring story of friendship, faith, love and loss in a tumultuous time in European history.

Autorenporträt

As an Emmy-winning radio and TV broadcaster for baseball, football, and basketball, Steve Physioc has been telling stories for 40 years. After a trip to Italy with his wife, Stace, he was inspired to tell a different kind of story, and wrote his first novel, The Walls of Lucca. From then on he had the writing bug, and the Sam Cloud-Carson series was later inspired by his love of baseball. Steve and Stace now live in Colorado and love to visit and spend time with their children, Ryan and Kevin, and three grandchildren.

Walks with the Wind was the winner of the 9th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published E-book Grand Prize, and The Walls of Lucca was the Gold Medal Winner of the 2019 Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest for inspirational fiction.
