“CATCH THE MOON, MARY,” BY WENDY WATERS

josephfsciuto Uncategorized December 13, 2021 1 Minute

What a pleasant surprise. “Catch the Moon, Mary,” by Wendy Waters is both angelic and beautifully written. An abused child, Mary, is visited by an angel, Gabriel, and the abuser is quickly punished and hobbles out of the child’s room in terrible pain.

Gabriel quickly makes a deal with the gifted child that the music she makes on her piano is to change the world and make it a better place to live, and at the same time make her famous beyond her imagination.

Of course, there are a few set backs because Gabriel is not to be denied his wish to re-invent the world, and as a consequence any one who gets in the way of his plan is killed.

Ms. Waters uses biblical figures, such as Gabriel, Mary, the mother of Jesus, and brings them into modern times and it works. The supporting characters are all well defined and it is the power of music that eventually prevails. “Catch the Moon, Mary,” is a gem of a novel.

Joseph Sciuto was born and raised in New York City, where he spent his early years listening to his Italian-American grandmother’s vivid stories about how their family was responsible for building much of the impressive Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building. The rich flavor of her stories about their family’s heritage still works its way through his writing. Sciuto holds degrees from both John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University and a certificate in film studies from New York University. After studying psychology, film, theater, literature, and English as an undergraduate, he relocated to Southern California to attend graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where he studied writing and film. Sciuto's next novel, SOFIA, is available on June 27, 2019, following the success of HOLLYWOOD RIPTIDE, TARGETED DEMOGRAPHICS and PER VERSE VENGEANCE. View all posts by josephfsciuto
