Once there was a gospel written in Christ's own hand: a treasure of almost unimaginable magnitude, referred to by the Cathars of medieval France as The Book of Love... Fresh from her successful search for the long-hidden scrolls written by Mary Magdelene, journalist Maureen Pascal now finds herself on the trail of the legendary lost gospel known as the Book of Love. But just as there were those who would stop at nothing to seize and suppress the Book of Love seven centuries ago, so there are those today who are equally determined that its radical message should never be revealed. In a race across Italy and France, new dangers await Maureen and her lover Sinclair as they begin to uncover secrets and shine new light on the hidden corners of Christianity. Combining expert research with dazzling plot twists, The Book of Love is sure to thrill readers as they follow Maureen's search for clues through some of the world's greatest art, architecture and history, until a potentially fatal encounter reveals the Book of Love to her -- and to us.

As I write in the introduction of my book "I belonged nowhere. I belong everywhere. The world was my oyster!" Born in Romania in the small city of Temesvar, I had a happy, comfortable childhood. Not for long. My parents relocated to Bucharest and after two years joined the tobacco family business in Saloniki, (Now Thessaloniki). The clouds of war touched us as the Italians bombarded the city. That was the beginning of an Odyssey of trying to escape the Russian armies, first from Sofia, Bulgaria where we fled after our house was destroyed in Saloniki and then from Vienna from where we retreated to theAustrian Tyrol. I got married to Mark Natlacen, he too a refugee from Slovenia.The communists assassinated his father who was the last non-communist governor there. Immigration to the New World was our only option. We found peace in Montreal, Canada and the book tells us about our family finally settling in Acton, Massachusetts.
