edit data

Born in 1972, into a traditional Sicilian home, Adriana was raised by her loving parents and older siblings. She is the youngest of five children. The family’s Sicilian roots run deep and they all treasure their heritage and traditions. Yet, they live in the suburbs of Detroit, returning only to their home country for vacations. They are proud to be Italian-Americans.

During her teens, Adriana discovered a passion for writing and was inspired to create a novel. At the tender age of 14, the characters and a plot for a story were fashioned, but the book was not yet finalized. After high school, she picked up her novel again and continued to write, but only for a short while, as ‘life’ took over.

Throughout her life, Adriana sought comfort i Born in 1972, into a traditional Sicilian home, Adriana was raised by her loving parents and older siblings. She is the youngest of five children. The family’s Sicilian roots run deep and they all treasure their heritage and traditions. Yet, they live in the suburbs of Detroit, returning only to their home country for vacations. They are proud to be Italian-Americans.

During her teens, Adriana discovered a passion for writing and was inspired to create a novel. At the tender age of 14, the characters and a plot for a story were fashioned, but the book was not yet finalized. After high school, she picked up her novel again and continued to write, but only for a short while, as ‘life’ took over.

Throughout her life, Adriana sought comfort in the Bible and desired a deeper faith. God placed people in her life that helped to strengthen her beliefs. She is thankful that her faith did not waiver, when it was ultimately tested, in high school. It was then that she made a choice for Christ. She was unable to shake the yearning and hunger she felt for His Word.

She began intense weekly Bible studies the first few years of her marriage. Adriana’s faith grew in great measures and suddenly she realized her two passions could be combined.

In 1998, she wed her husband, Matteo, and started a family. With the help of her husband, who assisted in caring for their children, she was motivated to incorporate her faith into her writing. She took the story and transformed it.

Six years, and two children later, she, alas, attempted to finish her novel. In 2003, she completed, ‘The Fathers’ Sins’. Only, her faith and life experiences would reflect in the story.

In 2005, her family grew larger with the birth of their youngest boy. Still, she continued being a homemaker by day and a writer by night. Despite the trials of staying in God’s word, preserving a healthy marriage, raising three boys, caring for elderly parents, and maintaining a house, Adriana was able to complete the third novel of the series. The fourth book, the prelude to the first three, is now in the works.

With God’s help, she looks forward to sharing these stories. She prays they will encourage and strengthen the faith of those who read them, in these troubling and wearisome times.

Hello Friends,
Temptation to Sin
We are all called to holiness.

We are all called to be 'perfect' as our Father in Heaven is perfect.

But what happens when you want to take control of a situation that is out of your hands?

What happens when you try to do what is right, and fail at nearly every turn?

What happens when the person you love the most may be in harms way and the only way to help is to st Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Adriana Parrinello (?)

“He whispered, “That miracle you were praying for—he’s patiently waiting his turn to hold you.”
Laura lifted her head from John’s chest, focusing on the faces around her. At last, her eyes fell upon him. Tony smiled softly.”
― Adriana Parrinello, The Fathers' Sins
