My Father's House

Set against the backdrop of German-occupied Rome in September 1943, this gripping literary thriller follows a courageous Irish priest and a small group of unlikely allies as they navigate the perils of war to help refugees and escaped prisoners find safety in Vatican City. With the Gestapo's oppressive rule looming large, the story weaves themes of love, faith, and sacrifice, all based on the true heroism of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, who risked everything to save lives under the noses of Nazi forces. As tensions rise and survival becomes a desperate game of wits, the narrative explores what it means to be truly human in the face of extreme adversity. This is the first installment of the Rome Escape Line Trilogy, promising a powerful and unforgettable journey.
