Novel One
Meet Me
at the Altar
Raised within the rituals and expectations of Catholic life, Donna Frangelu has long imagined marriage as the next great milestone of her life. But as wedding preparations intertwine with the centenary celebrations at Our Lady of Fatima, questions of faith, love, and commitment begin to surface. As the wedding approaches, Donna must confront the difference between fulfilling an expectation and choosing a life that is truly her own.
Set in the world of fashion media and family expectations, this character-driven story follows Isabella Carbone as she struggles with mental illness, alcohol dependence, and the gap between the woman the world sees and the person she is fighting to become. As her private struggles and public life collide, Isabella faces difficult questions about identity, vulnerability, and the possibility of change.
