Where faith meets fiction, and every soul has a story.
Armando Minutoli
Author · Screenwriter · Spiritual Storyteller
In this imaginative and thought-provoking spiritual fantasy, Armando Minutoli explores the mysteries of Heaven, the complexities of free will, and the eternal struggle between doubt and belief. Schism follows Obe and Tony—two souls from vastly different cultures and centuries—as they meet at the highest level of Purgatory and journey together through the heavenly realm. Their path winds through flashbacks and earthly visits to Civil War-era North Carolina and Georgia, and the vibrant streets of 1960s New York. Along the way, they confront questions of divine justice, moral fortitude, and the nature of trust in God. With cinematic storytelling and philosophical depth, Schism offers readers a glimpse into a Heaven filled with wonder, conflict, and revelation. It’s a tale that entertains while challenging us to reflect on the choices that shape our souls.
Armando writes with the soul of a seeker and the edge of a storyteller. From spiritual pilgrimages to gritty thrillers, his work spans genres but is united by a deep fascination with moral choices, unseen forces, and the human spirit. His debut, Medjugorje, A Pilgrim’s Journey, captured the hearts of readers drawn to the mystery of Marian apparitions. He followed with The Hester Street Kids, a riveting drama-thriller set in 1950s New York, and SCHISM: Something Is Amiss in Heaven Again!, a bold spiritual fantasy that imagines celestial unrest. With screenplays, articles, and decades of service in faith-based leadership, Minutoli blends psychological insight with cinematic storytelling—always inviting readers to look deeper, question boldly, and believe fiercely.

Set against the backdrop of New York’s Little Italy from the 1920s through the 1950s, The Hester Street Kids is a gripping, character-driven thriller that explores the tangled web of loyalty, deception, and survival. This evocative saga blends sensuality with suspense, weaving together love stories, family secrets, and criminal intrigue. Far from glorifying mob life, the novel sheds light on the harsh realities faced by Italian American immigrants—caught between the promise of the American dream and the shadow of organized crime. With vivid historical detail and emotional depth, Minutoli takes readers on a nostalgic journey through postwar America, where moral choices define destinies and truth is often buried beneath layers of betrayal.
