The Book of Loretta is a completed feature screenplay.

When a devout, socially isolated woman in Florida reframes rejection and estrangement as divine persecution, she becomes convinced that she has been called north to Manhattan to rescue her estranged daughter.

She is on a mission from Heritage Grove and Heavenly Father. Her daughter Christina is future testimony, future downline, and very much in need of reclamation. She is also, at present, blocking Loretta from commenting on her Facebook posts.

Arriving uninvited, Loretta upends the life her daughter has built in New York under the language of love, faith, and purpose.

This includes her ex-husband David, to whom she believes herself eternally tethered, and his second wife Pat, whom Loretta regards as a temporary and correctable problem.

What begins as social satire involving pickleball, MLM logic, and moral vanity tightens into domestic siege as Loretta’s need for righteousness, access, and control leaves no boundary intact.
