Road to Exile

Paul Toscano’s memoir recounts how the Brooklyn-born grandson of Sicilian immigrants became a discarded dissident of an unpopular American religion and discovered the dark side of the American dream. This is a tragicomedy of the American soul, of hollow hopes and untested ideals cracked by the crowbar of events, abandoned in shards, then revisited, individuated, revolutionized, and renewed by the workings of a relentless and ineffable grace. His story is an American story.
