Only a Prayer Away
A single year can shape a person for life. For Michael Parisi, growing up in Staten Island, 1976 was such a year, with unprecedented highs, like celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of his nation, and devastating lows, like mourning the loss of something he thought would last forever.

Gaetano "Guy" Burtone takes his readers back to a time when America's youth had yet to become jaded and tough?too cool to look up to their heroes or openly express anything but derision. He has created a novel with faith, heart, and humor, characters with whom one cannot help but empathize and grow to love, and invites you to share in their journey, which is Only a Prayer Away.

About the Author

Like his main character, Guy Burtone was blessed to have grown up in Staten Island, �just another kid from the neighborhood,� and enjoyed what many would consider to be an idyllic childhood. He has taken the cherished memories from those times with him on his own journey.

An avid reader and sports fan, and a collector of Superbowl memorabilia, Burtone now lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife and two children.

Only a Prayer Away is his first novel.
