This is a story in 3 parts. Each part is unique, revealing the nature and practices of international child trafficking. We begin with a woman plunging to her death. We're drawn into the patriarchal culture of 19th century Italy as it struggles to become one nation. It's Brother Eduardo's story, told in three parts. The rights of women lie in the hands of father, husband, culture, and court. The fate of stolen children used for sex and slavery reveals the heart of Eduardo's story. The role of the Church in child abuse is hinted. It's the century Italians struggled to become one nation after escaping France's Napoleon III. Other nations and the Vatican interfere with the desire of the people to become "one nation of the peninsula ."Their passion is to be called "Italian". Eduardo's passion is to save the children. The children's passion is to be free.
