The Child of Roccasecca
He Was Not Born the Angelic Doctor, He Was Forged Into One Before the Summa Theologiae . Before the lecture halls of Paris. Before the Church declared him a Doctor for all ages, there was a boy on a clifftop in southern Italy, already burning with a question his family could not answer and his captors could not extinguish. The Child of Roccasecca is a devotional account of the early years that made Thomas Aquinas who he was.
