Francis, Not the Saint is a true story of a family’s triumph over adversity during The Great
Depression and World War II. It is an important part of history.
It is also a mesmerizing story of a wonderful mother who taught her three children morals and manners
and was sometimes thought of as a saint, and a father who was anything but a saint, though his religious
background gnawed at his very soul.
It is a story of a man who tried to juggle three families at the same time and found out that it cannot
be done. A man who lied and cheated and made his children victims of his lies.
It is also a spiritual story of a daughter’s forgiveness of the lies he told, which is a criteria for
complete and peaceful existence.
