Power in the Blood

by Bernard LoPinto

Overview

Power in the Blood is the story of Tim Rathbone, a failed young minister who returns home to Dayton Crossing hoping to find renewal working with his former pastor, Stan Richmond, in the Dayton Crossing Christian Tabernacle, the CT.
When he finds the elderly couple who raised him dead, a despondent Tim finds he has only two people to depend on: Freddi, who knows too well the dark side of Dayton Crossing, and her mobster father Jimmy.
As he learns about the corruption rampant in his home town and the church he has revered all his life, Tim also arrives at the truth about his father's suicide, twenty years before.

About the Author

I grew up in the Long Island, NY, suburbs, earning a BA in English and an MS in Education. I taught in public schools for seventeen years and in prisons for eighteen years, all the while honing my skills as a writer. My copy and photography have appeared in local newspapers in Central New York, on the web, and in one anthology. In between, there have been stints in wedding photography, men's fashion, delicatessen, and, of course, my nine years as a minister, from which many of my ideas spring.

My years in the strict Pentecostal church and working with criminals in correctional education have taught me the importance of holding on to oneself, with periodic reinventions. Being a writer is one of those reinventions. When not writing, I can be found motorcycling through the hills of Northeastern Pennsylvania with my lovely wife Jeanne.
