Fire and Lace follows the journey of a young couple from casual friends to a relationship sacred in the eyes of their Creator. A journey that Tres Angeli Publishing's award winning author, "Tony Baggz" takes you on as Tommy and Aliana, our couple in question, embark upon their trek with the innocence and hope of all couples walking this path. The journey takes you through the ball fields, the taverns, restaurants, firehouses, parks and even churches of a vibrant neighborhood in a great American city. And along the way you'll meet the denizens of that neighborhood; clergymen with nicknames like "Walk Off," "Riff," "Rail bird," and "Sheckels," and guys with names like Vinnie "Bullets," "Mike the Russian," "Ace," Sammy "Bagels," Bobby "Pretzels," "Crazy Pat," a Dalmatian who you would swear is half human, and a young man named Andy, who talks to God ... and gets answers. A journey that attests to the truth in the statement, "it takes a village - or maybe better, a parish- to raise a couple."
