Susan Vigilante, an average Catholic wife from Long Island, woke up one morning in the romantic Italian hillside near the ancient village of Castel Gandolfo and had breakfast with Pope John Paul II.

How did she get here?  Breakfast with the Pope is the funny, endearing, searing, and relentlessly honest story of a woman on a pilgrimage, a woman who has failed for years to become the writer she longs to be, who yearns for the children she is unable to bear, who seeks to find the promised God of love amidst the wreckage of failed human relationships.

And…succeeds.

This is a story of love, told through the intense bonds women form with each other.  You will meet:

“Sharon,” the young, wealthy, and charismatic New York socialite who draws Susan into her magnetic orbit, offering her a glimpse of the unconditional love in which she had never believed.

Marybeth, Susan’s sister, whose disastrous dating life drives Susan to distraction, yet finds happiness starting the family Susan is denied (and making children Susan loves).  When cancer suddenly threatens the life of the young husband and father, the family rushes to the defense, throwing everything it has at the enemy, for which Susan above all means the power of prayer.

Susan, herself, unbearably shy, burning with faith, and yet ever on the brink of despair.  Can she screw up her courage to ask the pope himself for the greatest favor of her life?

This is a book you will never forget, an often funny, always deeply moving spiritual memoir about seeking faith in the midst of doubt, compassion in the midst of suffering, and above all choosing love even knowing that is never comes without pain.
