The Anvil’s Passion is a memoir recalling my family’s heritage in tragedy and the sea, Greek culture and family secrets.

Aunts and brothers, cars, balls and beer fill the city streets of my childhood.

You will find waterways flowing through the story, crabbing, fishing, and sailing.

Philly looms as the backdrop for so much drama and angst.

School and community barge in with unexpected joys and music.

The Beatles, a taxi in South America, and even a president make appearances.

In a mad dash to Michigan, marriage and an uncertain Psychological career begin.

In the second half, children show up and spice up the place!

Thirty years a therapist and one ordination fill the years.

Throughout, there sounds an anvil loudly reporting the presence of God’s perseverance.

The Anvil’s Passion is a fun ride through personalities and possibilities, and that pugnacious desire to say, “Yo, I got something to say!” This version of humanity stands in awe of the depth of life and revels in all its delicious flavor.
