This entertaining collection of stories revolves around themes of love and arts, including painting, writing, history, mythology, and conversation, along with reflections on chess, cuisine, confectionary, travel, and literature, all set at the turn of the 21st century, before the rising of social media and the ubiquity of internet culture. A more innocent time, perhaps. Though the stories are related and certain echoes among them, with one exception the characters inhabit separate narratives. The longest piece, essentially a novella, tells the story of a couple honeymooning in Italy, who come across a manuscript that's purported to be a personal diary of Francesco del Giocondo, a husband of Lisa del Giocondo, the reputed model for the portrait known as the Mona Lisa. Does this prove Mona Lisa's real identity? Is the manuscript the find of a lifetime, or just another con job inflicted upon a hapless tourist? The story, which alternates between the text of the diary and events of the honeymoon, raises questions about identities not just historical but also personal for the newlyweds in Italy. Like the other stories, this novella challenges character's beliefs about the nature of art and their relationships.

This book describes the experiences of an Army chaplain who officiated at the first two Memorial Services conducted in the Pentagon after 9/11, and his support to the survivors. Over two decades have passed since 9/11 and this book seeks to honor and remember those who died on that day, while also honoring and remembering the fallen heroes from all of America's wars. This book is a call for America to never forget the 1.3 million fellow Americans who died for their country; and to encourage today's overworked and "all volunteer" military. Stories are included from Chaplain Jenkins' service at the Pentagon, in Iraq, on the staff of General Martin Dempsey, and from his tenure as the Rear Detachment chaplain for the 82nd Airborne Division. With the 82nd, Chaplain Jenkins officiated at well over one hundred services for fallen paratroopers. This book traces the struggles, and eventual breakthroughs of Native Americans, African Americans, Japanese and Chinese minorities in relation to military service. Against major barriers, heroic service and sacrifice are seen from these groups. Various vignettes of military heroes, from the 18th century until the present, are described as a reminder for America to remain grateful for the sacrifices of her military.
