Description


In "Shadows From My Past", Rocco Romano's quest for forgiveness leads him through a labyrinth of regret and unresolved memories. Set against the violent backdrop of the 1950s and 60s, a time of societal unrest and moral ambiguity, Rocco seeks reconciliation but is met with remorse and condemnation at every turn. The ghosts of his past are neither evil nor vengeful; they don't seek to drag him to perdition, but they also offer no solace. Instead, they leave him to reckon with the consequences of his actions, reminding him that true judgment comes only on the fateful day we all must face. As Rocco navigates his turbulent inner world, the novel reflects on the external chaos of an era marked by disregard for human life. Shadow captures the complexities of a man's struggle to find meaning and redemption in a world where violence and indifference reign supreme.
