The Book of Loretta is a feature screenplay in development.

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

She is on a mission from Heritage Grove Essential Oils and Heavenly Father. Her daughter Christina is future testimony and future downline. She is also, at present, blocking Loretta from commenting on her Facebook posts.

Arriving uninvited, Loretta upends the lives of her daughter’s New York family under the language of love, faith, and purpose.

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

What begins as social satire involving pickleball tightens into a domestic siege as Loretta’s need for moral authority turns unhinged, leaving no boundary intact.
