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>A Jewish woman’s unconventional quest to find Jesus in modern Israel<br /><br />With candor and an intimate knowledge of the Land and its people, Bobbie Ann Cole takes you on some intriguing time travel, such as to the ceremonial slaughtering of Passover lambs in the nearby temple as Jesus died on the cross.<br />Her moving and compellingly-written personal story of making Aliyah to Israel with her husband, Butch effectively interweaves Israel’s ancient and modern history with biblical references.

The underlying antagonism of her beloved Israel towards Messianic Jews leaves her sneaking around, keeping her true identity secret.<br />A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles<br />is not about theological principals; it's about love.<br />Discover:<br />• How Jesus used Jewish festivals to underscore His message.<br />• The story of Jesus’ Bar Mitzvah.<br />• Why Jewish atheists may move to Israel but not believer Jews.<br />• Why Judaism rejects Jesus as Messiah.</p>
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.
