REVISED 2ND EDITION – 2021! A jury of Blood Brothers. The verdict will change everything. When you hear the term, South Philly, you might think of row homes, summer softball games and strong, traditional, Italian families–or you might think of violence and organized crime. The mobster reputation is not unfounded but within that dark world are men who, although 'connected,' are fighting to break free from the trappings and limitations of such a life. Brotherly Love blends high drama and street ferocity with love and friendship-while examining every man's quest for deeper meaning and purpose.¬¬ Blaze Santore–an unusual combination of bookie and intellectual–struggles to justify and find value in his life when Joey, his best friend and champion for self-improvement, returns home to honor a blood oath they had sworn ten years earlier. Blaze is forced to question everything that defines his identity and through the painstaking process of fulfilling the pact that he made with Joey, comes to his own realization–one that will change his life forever.
