But when a long-held secret is revealed about his idolized, late father -- shaking the very foundation of his faith -- how will Enzo prevent his life from going completely off the rails?

Trudy Booth
This is when we meet New Age Guru Trudy Booth. We meet her in front of the Church, which she also (paradoxically) is associated with. Symbolically, this is meant to show Enzo's dilemma with regard to his traditional loyalty to his own faith as passed down from his father and that of a new belief system, as represented by Trudy Booth. It sets up the issue that the second half of the novel will explore.
Opening Lines
This is how the novel opens, and it establishes an important thematic element--but does it do enough work to draw the reader into the narrative? I'm not so sure about that.
