Book excerpt: "Sometimes we must suffer if we are to save souls." Jesus' words echo in a recurring dream to Lali Russo, a seventeen-year-old Catholic school girl. Lali wakes and asks, "Why that dream again?" Two thousand years ago, the scourged and bloody form of a man who claimed to be God carried the wood on which he would be crucified. Coming upon some distraught women, He says, "Women of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves and your children. For if these things are done when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" The novel, When the Wood Is Dry by Joseph Cillo, Jr. attempts to answer this question. When the Wood Is Dry will be published in three parts: This book includes all three parts together in a single volume!Lali Russo is called to walk a path of suffering that she struggles to understand. Praying at an abortion clinic, she encounters the pregnant girlfriend of a notorious gang leader. She confronts the girl's boyfriend, the ruthless Ralo as he sharpens his machete.
