Justin Catanoso

My Cousin the Saint is a wonderful memoir by Justin Catanoso. While a saint definitely inspired the book, this story is a travelogue, a history about Italian immigration to America, and a warm family story. Justin's writing is honest and poignant and I found myself unable to put it down, I was so deeply involved with his characters. As I do my holiday shopping, I am not only giving this book but encouraging others to do so too.

A remarkable book. I ordered it on the strength of enthusiastic recommendations from people of various faiths and various degrees of faith, and I was not disappointed.
