Previously published as "Seventy Times Seven," Salvatore Sapienza's Lambda Literary Award nominated debut novel is the now the basis for the award winning feature film, "Brotherly Love," and is now being republished here under the film's title. "Jesus instructed us to forgive those who have wronged us seventy times seven times," Brother Vito Fortunato teaches the boys in his high school religion class, but it's Vito himself who has the most trouble with forgiveness: trying to forgive the Church, the gay community, and most of all, himself. Just a few months from his final vows as a Brother in the Catholic Church, Vito finds himself at a crossroads, torn between his spirituality and his sexuality as a fully out and proud gay man. Will a summer of volunteer work at an AIDS center in San Francisco-and a love affair with Gabriel, a recently divorced landscaper-help Vito decide his calling-and his future? "Brotherly Love" is a poignant, sexy, funny, and romantic novel set in the early 1990s about a young man's struggle to integrate his religious beliefs with his sexual desires. The gap between sexuality and spirituality is punctuated throughout the novel with quotes from the Scripture, and from song lyrics from Prince and Madonna, artists who merged the two worlds in provocative and groundbreaking fashion. "A humorous, heartwarming, romantic tale filled with wit and wisdom" - Gay Chicago Magazine "Deeply moving and reverent" - EDGE New York
