About the book: "Pauli, don't do this."
Paul Ranzinni has spent his life as a made man in the Romano crime family. He has stolen, cheated, and killed. He has broken every commandment more than once.
But when his dying mother extracts one final promise, a confession to his priest brother Anthony, Paul finds himself face to face with a mercy he never expected.
Hours later, he is dead.
Now Paul stands on the shore of eternity, his sins laid bare before the judgment seat of Christ. Saved by the skin of his teeth, he is sentenced to five hundred years in Purgatory, beginning at the lowest level, where Hell and Purgatory overlap and the demons are allowed to torment him.
What follows is a journey through fire, confrontation, grief, and ultimately mercy, as Paul faces the consequences of every choice he ever made and discovers that salvation is only the beginning.
