About
Angela T. Pisaturo's novels bring to life the ordinary woman.
Her realistic depiction of the inner soul’s struggle to find its purpose has brought healing and truth to many women. The reader may identify with Amelia DeLuca; a love starved daughter who learns to forgive in The Rich American Woman, (winner of the John Gardner Award, Honorable Mention for Best Character Description of the main character). Maybe they identify with Nellie Parker; the disfigured eccentric middle-aged woman whose discovery of an ancient artifact transforms her life in Treasures in Clay Vessels, or with Veronica Wheaton, the hard nosed reporter whose hateful 'truth crusade' leads her to face the hard truth about her own life in The Cedar Chest (available 2010). No matter where the readers see themselves one thing is for sure – they will come away with a handful of hope and a cup of inspiration.

Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Story Behind The Book
The Biblical Artifacts exhibit had come to my hometown. After viewing the exhibits, I browsed the gift show, stumbling on a replica of an ancient Herodian Oil Lamp, also known as a Jesus lamp. After reading its history, and about the belief that the lamp represented freedom and deliverance, I began to ponder the idea about what would happen if a recluse woman battered by life came about the original lamp that came from the line of David and possibly Jesus' own family. Would it change her life? Would she find peace?
That's how the book envolved. Then I threw in the Maine coastline for a setting and the fact that she was an antiques owner and the rest took on a life of its own.
