ERSILLIA: Love & Loss

By: Stephen White, Kathleen Anderson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The story of Assad and Frances Hajjar is a love story for the ages; he the son of a poor Lebanese furniture-maker turned priest, and she the daughter of a wealthy Italian sea merchant. It’s a tale of unwavering devotion that spans nearly a half-century and four continents, intermingling as it does with the people and events that helped shape our world; from Popes and suffragettes, to heroes and anarchists. Sadly, it’s also a love story that begins and ends with unspeakable acts of violence, events that will define their places in history while at the same time testing their love for each other. Based on a true story, Ersillia: Love & Loss will play with your emotions while drawing you deeper into the world of Assad and Frances. We hope you will enjoy the journey.
