In this gritty book of suffering, there is a darkness, but there is also a light. Sometimes, in our blackest hour, we succumb. Other times, we prevail. Several people in this story do not prevail over tragedy, and the ones who do are the least likely. It is an honest look at hurt, grief, neglect, abuse, guilt, addiction, disability, and that human spirit that can still find a way out. Along the way, there may be surprising laughs and moments of warmth. The characters come from diverse backgrounds, but their lives intersect with one another. At various points of intersection, the revelation of who they truly are can be stunning. This is a dark journey to see the light—THE STARS BEHIND THE CLOUDS.

“I wrote the first chapter of this novel in an attic apartment in West Germany when I was 19 years old. I didn’t know enough back then to bring this story home. More than 30 years later, I found my notebook at the bottom of a tattered box in my basement. I read it by flashlight with intrigue. It sparked inspiration to continue writing after all these years. But now, I knew exactly where to take this tale of suffering and perseverance.” — Frank Rocco Satullo, author of The Stars Behind The Clouds.
