Rome-once the heart of an empire, now the heart of the Catholic Church-has witnessed many love stories. When the Eternal City draws together a Swiss Guard and an American expat, a modern-day romance blooms in the shadow of Saint Peter's Basilica.

Haunted by a broken engagement and betrayed by her best friend, Elena Gattino travels to Rome for a new job and the hope of a new life. Fueled by pasta and bolstered by prayer, she becomes brave enough to forge new friendships with the Rechsteiner siblings as she explores Rome and finds her footing at work.

Benedikt Rechsteiner is comfortable serving in the Swiss Guard, even if he recognizes his life lacks a special something...or someone. Simmering family tensions and uncertainty about his future have left Beni wary of relationships, but his unexpected feelings for Elena challenge him to face his fears.

Soon, Beni and Elena's friendship turns into more, thanks to the matchmaking meddling of a Vatican spymaster, a Swiss Guard comrade-in-arms, and Beni's overenthusiastic yet lovable sister. But then Elena's past follows her to Rome, putting her in danger that even Beni may not be able to save her from. And if Beni wants to be with Elena, he'll need to discern where his own future lies-and reconcile with his father after years of bitterness. Can the two forge a relationship strong enough to withstand the suffering that comes their way? Or will the tensions of their own lives pull them apart?

Sister Mary Margaret wants to introduce you to what it's like being a religious sister! Do you know what that means? It means that Sister Mary Margaret gets to love and serve Jesus in a special way. Instead of getting married, she is a bride of Christ!

Meet Sister Mary Margaret answers the questions that children (but really, everyone!) have when first encountering a religious sister: Why do you wear that?; What do you do all day?; and more. This engaging, informative book with playful illustrations will bring children and families to an awareness of the beautiful role of women religious in the Church and the world.

We see our parish priests for Sunday Mass, but we -- children and adults alike -- sometimes wonder what they do in their daily lives. Father Drew wants to show you what it's like to be a priest!

Father Drew, What Do You Do? helps children learn about a priest's role as Father, the many ways the priestly vocation is lived out, what priests do for fun, and how priests administer the sacraments to the faithful. And, as all priests do, Father Drew also introduces children to Jesus' love and invites them to consider how God is calling them to share that love with others in their own lives.
