Reflections from Author/Producer

“Through my friendship with Vertus, I gained wisdom, learned about forgiveness, and formed virtue of character. These attributes enabled me to turn from a course of misdirection and receive the goodness life has to offer.”

“After becoming so intimately connected to Vertus, I began to understand that the 1927 tragedy generated extreme physical pain, but what happened throughout his life was equally destructive on an emotional scale.”

“As a result of this story, I will never judge others because I now know that I have no idea what hardships they have experienced in life.”

“I relentlessly questioned what he hid under his wig and beanie, but once he revealed his secret, I realized that I really didn’t want to know.”
